[QUOTE="Jorrie, post: 6633345, member: 46478"] Some caution. Would it not be better to rather say that the [I]observable[/I] universe grew exponentially from subatomic size to a softball size in a tiny fraction of a second. There were probably many, even infinitely many such regions, making up [I]the Universe[/I]. Then, without specifying times for simplicity, one can say that a phase transition happened, dumping some of that kinetic energy into particles of matter, bringing the [I]inflation[/I] period to an end. From there on it was just decelerating [I]expansion,[/I] until dark energy lately again started pushing the observable universe towards exponential expansion again. [/QUOTE]
