The latest results from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope reinforce confidence in the standard model of cosmology, suggesting no significant changes regarding inflation theories. Simple models like Staroninsky are not definitively ruled out but are less favored compared to more complex frameworks. The findings indicate a preference for models that align closely with the standard model's predictions. Researchers are encouraged to review the detailed results for a comprehensive understanding. Overall, the Atacama results contribute to ongoing discussions about the nature of inflation in cosmology.

What do the latest results from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope mean for inflation? Are simple models like Staroninsky ruled out? What is favoured?

Can you please cite your reference to the results from the Atacama telescope so we can take a look?
 
I would say no change to the status of any inflation aimed at ‘explaining’ the standard model initial state, since the conclusion is to increase confidence in the standard model of cosmology.

Thread 'Estimates — True Size of the Universe?'

I always thought it was odd that we know dark energy expands our universe, and that we know it has been increasing over time, yet no one ever expressed a "true" size of the universe (not "observable" universe, the ENTIRE universe) by just reversing the process of expansion based on our understanding of its rate through history, to the point where everything would've been in an extremely small region. The more I've looked into it recently, I've come to find that it is due to that "inflation"...
