Quantum foam itself released gravitational waves that eventually shaped the cosmic universe.
Over billions of years, these stretched ripples grew into clumps of matter, forming the first stars and galaxies. Eventually, they created a massive network of galaxies and dark matter called the cosmic web, which spans the entire universe today.
A new study suggests that the cosmic web could have formed without relying on inflation driven by a scalar field. Instead, it proposes a novel mechanism that suggests that inflation arises from gravitational wave amplification.
Inflation is believed to have laid the foundation of everything there is out in space. However, nobody knows when it happened, why it happened, or what caused it. Plus, scientists don’t have any solid evidence to confirm whether it happened.
