Im reading Mukhanov, cosmology foundations, right now (excelent book, by the way). As many others, he gives some reasoning behind the origin of inflation, and there he says that there had not been enough time for the different patches of the universe to get in contact and justify the homogeneity of the observable universe. In all these reasonings, It seems that it is supposed that there is not time before t=0, but from what I understood, t=0 is not necessary the time when time started. It only is the time when our physical theories break down. There could be time before t=0 but the rules should be different. So, there could be infinite time before t=0, or at least enough time to make our observable universe homogeneous, and we loose one important reason behind inflation.
So, are the reasoning behind the homogeneity & Inflation essencially wrong? (surely not, but what am I not seeing??)
Thanks in advance
