Modern cosmology now suggests that the Planck epoch may have inaugurated a period of unification or Grand unification epoch, and that symmetry breaking then quickly led to the era of cosmic inflation, the Inflationary epoch, during which the universe greatly expanded in scale over a very short period of time.

Inflationary cosmology models suggest that there may be more to the universe than can be seen from the Earth, if only for the simple reason that the universe isn't old enough for light from the most distant parts of the universe to have reached us yet.

Inflationary theory allows for a solution to the problem ( along with several others such as the flatness problem ) by positing a short 10 < sup >- 32 </ sup > second period of exponential expansion ( dubbed " inflation ") within the first minute or so of the history of the universe.

* Inflationary expectations: Most economies generally exhibit inflation, meaning a given amount of money buys fewer goods in the future than it will now.

* Inflationary expectations play a role because if workers and employers expect inflation to persist in the future, they will increase their ( nominal ) wages and prices now.

Inflationary pressures were also building up, while some fish stocks in the Icelandic waters were being depleted.

Inflationary pressures led to key shifts in economic policies.

Inflationary models also account for other phenomena, and are in agreement with observations of recent microwave anisotropy satellites.

In August, he submitted his paper, entitled " The Inflationary Universe: A Possible Solution to the Horizon and Flatness Problems " to the journal Physical Review.

His famous " Inflationary Language " routine demonstrates the other side of this statement.

* Inflationary pressures: It follows from the neglect of the agricultural sector that food shortages are likely to occur with industrialization.

* Inflationary Language – invented by Victor Borge, incrementing numbers embedded in words, e. g., crenine (" create ") and elevennis (" tennis ")

Inflationary monetary-disequilibrium.

As its name suggests, the setting crosses and comprises the numerous planes of existence, encompassing an entire cosmology called the Great Wheel, as originally developed in the Manual of the Planes by Jeff Grubb.

Some evidence suggests that the layout of the Pinson Mounds might be due to astronomical alignment, and expresses the people's cosmology, as is the case at some later mound complexes, such as Cahokia.

The distinction between baryonic and non-baryonic matter is important in cosmology, because Big Bang nucleosynthesis models set tight constraints on the amount of baryonic matter present in the early universe.

In physical cosmology, cosmic inflation, cosmological inflation or just inflation is the theorized extremely rapid exponential expansion of the early universe by a factor of at least 10 < sup > 78 </ sup > in volume, driven by a negative-pressure vacuum energy density.

The belief in a disk remained the dominant one in Indian cosmology until the early centuries AD, such as in the Puranas:

Midgard ( an anglicised form of Old Norse ; Old English, Old High German, Gothic Midjun-gards ; literally " middle enclosure ") is the name for the world ( in the sense of oikoumene ) inhabited by and known to humans in early Germanic cosmology, and specifically one of the Nine Worlds and in Norse mythology.

In early Germanic cosmology, the term stands alongside world ( Old English weorold, Old Saxon werold, Old High German weralt, Old Frisian warld and Old Norse verǫld ), from a Common Germanic compound * wira-alđiz literally the " age of men ".

In physical cosmology, Big Bang nucleosynthesis ( or primordial nucleosynthesis, abbreviated BBN ) refers to the production of nuclei other than those of H-1 ( i. e. the normal, light isotope of hydrogen, whose nuclei consist of a single proton each ) during the early phases of the universe.

Martin Litchfield West gives qualified assent to this view, stating, " contact with oriental cosmology and theology helped to liberate the early Greek philosophers ' imagination ; it certainly gave them many suggestive ideas.

The Baphomet of Lévi was to become an important figure within the cosmology of Thelema, the mystical system established by Aleister Crowley in the early twentieth century.

While it is widely agreed that plasma physics is essential to many astrophysical phenomena in the early universe and is still important today to phenomena up to the scale of the Solar system, plasma cosmology continues this extrapolation to the universe on the largest observable scales.

In physical cosmology, a topological defect is an ( often ) stable configuration of matter predicted by some theories to form at phase transitions in the very early universe.

In Greek antiquity the ideas of celestial spheres and rings first appeared in the cosmology of Anaximander in the early 6th century BC.

Jain cosmology and mythology are mentioned in early Sangam works, and Jain surnames are found amongst the early poets.

In physical cosmology, baryogenesis is the generic term for hypothetical physical processes that produced an asymmetry between baryons and antibaryons in the very early universe, resulting in the substantial amounts of residual matter that make up the universe today.

This puzzling situation remained for many decades until the early 21st century when the recently discovered dark energy component provided new hope for a consistent cyclic cosmology.

Turok has worked in a number of areas of mathematical physics and early universe physics, focusing on observational tests of fundamental physics in cosmology.

Chinese architecture from early times used concepts from Chinese cosmology such as feng shui ( geomancy ) and Taoism to organize construction and layout from common residences to imperial and religious structures.

This was due to early Shinto cosmology, when the people believed the gods ( kami ) were above the human world and belonged to the most extraordinary and majestic parts of nature.

In the early 20th century, Max Heindel presented in The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception a cosmology related to the scheme of evolution in general and the evolution of the solar system and the earth in particular, according to the Rosicrucians.

They are nonetheless thinly veiled disguises, and in these writings are discernable vestiges of early Irish polytheistic cosmology ( World view ).

In early 846, in an attempt to ward off the illness, he changed his name to Li Yan — under the theory that under the Wu Xing cosmology, his original name of Chan ( 瀍 ) contained two instances of earth ( 土 ) while only containing one instance of water ( 水 ), which meant that he was getting suppressed by the dynasty's own spirits ( as Tang beliefs included that the dynasty was protected by earth ), while Yan ( 炎 ) contained two instances of fire ( 火 ), which was more harmonious with earth.

In physical cosmology the inflationary epoch was the period in the evolution of the early universe when, according to inflation theory, the universe underwent an extremely rapid exponential expansion.

In theoretical physics, quantum cosmology is a field attempting to study the effect of quantum mechanics on the formation of the universe, or its early evolution, especially just after the Big Bang.

He went on to pioneer early quantum field theory before largely switching his focus to cosmology before World War II.

Physical cosmology, as a branch of astronomy, is the study of the largest-scale structures and dynamics of the universe and is concerned with fundamental questions about its formation and evolution.

Thus, cosmology unites the physics of the largest structures in the universe with the physics of the smallest structures in the universe.

Einstein published his first paper on relativistic cosmology in 1917, in which he added this cosmological constant to his field equations in order to force them to model a static universe.

The history of the universe is a central issue in cosmology.

Another major problem in cosmology is what caused the universe to contain more particles than antiparticles.

Inflation answers the classic conundrum of the Big Bang cosmology: why does the universe appear flat, homogeneous, and isotropic in accordance with the cosmological principle when one would expect, on the basis of the physics of the Big Bang, a highly curved, heterogeneous universe?

For a recent review, see The authors admits that their model " does not solve the entropy and flatness problems of standard cosmology ..... and we can provide no explanation for why the current universe is so close to being spatially flat.

The problem of thinking in terms of classical measurements of a quantum system becomes particularly acute in the field of quantum cosmology, where the quantum system is the universe.

In cosmology, if one assumes the Copernican principle and observes that the universe appears isotropic from our vantage-point on Earth, then one can prove that the Universe is generally homogeneous ( at any given time ) and is also isotropic about any given point.

Bondi and Thomas Gold used the Copernican principle to argue for the perfect cosmological principle which maintains that the universe is also homogeneous in time, and is the basis for the steady-state cosmology.

In cosmology, cosmic microwave background ( CMB ) radiation ( also CMBR, CBR, MBR, and relic radiation ) is thermal radiation filling the observable universe almost uniformly.

Precise measurements of cosmic background radiation are critical to cosmology, since any proposed model of the universe must explain this radiation.

* Conformal cyclic cosmology, a cosmological model in which the universe undergoes a repeated cycle of death and rebirth

In astronomy and cosmology, dark matter is a type of matter hypothesized to account for a large part of the total mass in the universe.

According to observations of structures larger than solar systems, as well as Big Bang cosmology interpreted under the Friedmann equations and the FLRW metric, dark matter accounts for 23 % of the mass-energy content of the observable universe.

* Epoch ( cosmology ) or cosmologic epoch, a phase in the development of the universe since the Big Bang

In 1917, Einstein applied his theory to the universe as a whole, initiating the field of relativistic cosmology.

In 1543, astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus from Toruń ( Thorn ) published his work De revolutionibus orbium coelestium and became the first person to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology that displaced the Earth from the center of the universe.

Another central branch of metaphysics is cosmology, the study of the totality of all phenomena within the universe.

Although Witten coined the term M-theory to refer to his model of an eleven-dimensional universe, other scientists have generalized the moniker for application to any of various meta-theories involving string theory and brane cosmology.

A black-hole cosmology is a cosmological model in which the observable Universe is the interior of a black hole existing as one of possibly many inside a larger universe.
