Inflationary Field

An inflationary field is a concept from cosmology that describes a field of energy that existed in the early universe, leading to rapid expansion shortly after the Big Bang. This phenomenon, known as cosmic inflation, suggests that the universe expanded exponentially in size within a fraction of a second. The inflationary field provided the energy necessary for this expansion, smoothing out the universe and influencing its structure. This theory helps explain the uniformity of the cosmic microwave background radiation and the large-scale distribution of galaxies we observe today.
