Inflation and the Inlaton Field

Dynah: We have this theory of the inflaton and the inlaton field. Is it real? Like, have we seen it? Do we have confirmation that it exists? Dynah: It's a great question, and it's one that we are still struggling with. Every cork, every electron, every tiny thing out there, used to be an inflaton particle. Used to be the whole universe just was, was the inflaton field. And inflaton particles, and then all of those turned into the matter that makes us up why? dynah says.
