Inflation happened when:
A) the universe was <10-33 seconds old.
B) the universe expanded by a factor of approximately 1030.
C) the average energy of the vacuum of spacetime changed.
D) all of the above

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inflation occurred during the universe's first moments, when the universe was <10-33seconds old, and resulted in the universe expanding by a factor of approximately 1030. This rapid expansion was driven by a change in the average energy of the vacuum of spacetime, resulting in a period of exponential growth known as inflation. Therefore, all of the above options are correct.
