You see, when you try to explain how the universe -
say, our universe - got started, and you have this repulsive gravity
coming from the inflaton field, it causes space to expand, but the math shows that
it's such an efficient process that you can virtually never
fully use up the fuel that generated our expansion, so our big bang happens, but there's
still some fuel left over

You see, when you try to explain
00:00:03.072 --> 00:00:06.004
how the universe -
say, our universe - got started,
00:00:06.004 --> 00:00:10.072
and you have this repulsive gravity
coming from the inflaton field,
00:00:10.072 --> 00:00:12.088
it causes space to expand,
00:00:12.088 --> 00:00:16.999
but the math shows that
it's such an efficient process
00:00:16.999 --> 00:00:19.088
that you can virtually never
fully use up the fuel
00:00:19.088 --> 00:00:22.012
that generated our expansion,
00:00:22.012 --> 00:00:25.002
so our big bang happens, but there's
still some fuel left over.
