Predictions of the standard model of inflation include geometrical flatness of the universe to high precision and [scale invariance]? of the fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background. There are also consequences for high-energy particle physics near or at the GUT scale.
Predictions of the standard model of inflation include geometrical flatness of the universe to high precision and [scale invariance]? of the fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background. There are also consequences for high-energy particle physics near or at the GUT scale. The exact nature of the particle or field that generates the vacuum energy density for inflation (the "inflaton") remains a mystery.
