In a recent breakthrough we showed that the strong nuclear force of the Standard Model may have generated the heat of the hot Big Bang itself. It is widely believed that cosmic inflation, the era of accelerated expansion in the infant universe, occurred while the cosmos was cold and empty, requiring some unknown process to subsequently generate the hot plasma we observe. Our work demonstrates...
