inflation theory proven?

Bad Astronomy: "This is big news: Astronomers have announced that they have seen, for the first time, direct evidence of “inflation” in the extremely early Universe, unlocking an entire chapter in the history of the cosmos. It also ties together relativity and quantum mechanics in a deep and profound way, which has never been done before."

Incomprehensible as it sound, inflation poses that the universe initially expanded far faster than the speed of light and grew from a subatomic size to a golf-ball size almost instantaneously.

Consider: "When the Universe underwent inflation, it was a mere 10^-35 seconds old. That’s an incredibly short time by human terms, too small for us to really grasp well. And it only lasted until 10^-32 seconds after the Big Bang.

That duration is so short that analogies are difficult to use. That time period compared to one second is far, far smaller than one second is compared to the current age of the Universe.

But that’s in human terms. Compared to the age of the cosmos back then, inflation lasted for more than 1,000 times the amount of time the Universe had already existed.

Scaling that to current terms, if something like inflation started now, it would have to last for tens of trillions of years to be comparable in length. We think of the Universe as old, but it is as fleeting as the single wing beat of a mosquito compared to that."

Expansion faster then the speed of light, this would be a paradigm shift!

Also? It will destroy your brain.


And in that small moment the universe expanded between 10³⁰ to 10¹⁰⁰ times bigger, and that light could travelled in that moment only 3 yoctometer, which is between 3 million to 3*10⁷⁶ times to small for that expansion. Also, if you want to save he lightspeed, the point from which the big-bang generated couldn't be bigger then between 3*10^-30 to 3*10^-100, which is far beyond the plancklenght limit. However, if we consider that the lenght of that moment could be (3*10^-8 yoctosecond) - (3*10^-11 yoctosecond), then what's to stop us from thinking that that moment lastet exactly 2.99792458 *
10^-8 yoctosecond in space-time.
