Space possibly created galaxies on its own, thanks to gravitational waves
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: cosmology, quantum physics
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.
