As I understand the inflationary cosmology states that at around 10^-35 seconds to 10^-32 seconds after the Big Bang all matter was created as what Alan Guth called the "ultimate free lunch". However, it is said that at 10^-43, the so-called Planck time, was when gravity became separated from the rest of the forces. As I understand it, gravity is a force mediated by the graviton (in quantum gravity theories) and the other forces are all particles. However how come they were there before inflation if inflation states that all matter (therefore also supposedly the particles that mediated the forces) where created at the moment of inflation? Just a remark.
