I was listening to Brian Cox on Intelligence Squared and he somewhat casually mentioned the general acceptance among physicists of a possibly "infinitely long" period of cold inflation predating the big bang and of the "sudden" stop to this inflation as the source of energy for the big bang... I'm just a science aficionado, but I thought I kept abreast of the current theory in that area of physics...but I've never heard of this! I'm retelling it from memory here and might not accurately relay what he explained, but can anyone elaborate on this for me?
