Important note:
These visuals are illustrative only—not precise physical depictions of magnitudes or forces involved. Actual conditions during inflation involved extreme energies (near ~10¹⁶ GeV), densities, and scales far beyond intuitive visualization. My illustrations aim purely for conceptual clarity.

Clip 8: Transition to Primordial Universe (Black Holes Form)
This visualization illustrates tiny density fluctuations collapsing into primordial black holes (PBHs) within the hot early universe plasma—originally proposed by Hawking & Carr (1970s). PBHs could influence cosmic structure and potentially explain dark matter. Observational searches ongoing, including data from JWST, LIGO, and future space missions.

Evidence: Ongoing searches via gravitational lensing (JWST), gravitational waves (LIGO), and large-scale surveys (DESI).

Clip 7: Reheating Begins
Depicted here is "reheating," where the inflaton’s potential energy rapidly converts into hot plasma of standard model particles, marking the Big Bang's fiery start (~10²⁷ Kelvin initially). This transition phase, predicted by cosmologists including Linde, remains theoretically robust yet poorly understood.

Evidence: Consistent with nucleosynthesis abundances and CMB measurements from Planck.

Clip 6: Slow-Roll Transition
This clip illustrates "slow-roll" inflation, introduced by Andrei Linde. After bubble nucleation, the inflaton field rolls slowly toward a true vacuum. Inflation gradually ends as the energy density decreases. "Slow-roll" inflation precisely matches observational constraints from CMB temperature anisotropies.

Clip 5: Bubble Expansion
Visualizing the true vacuum bubble rapidly expanding into the false vacuum. This phase boundary would propagate at enormous speeds, eventually dominating space. This idea relates to Guth's "bubble universe" scenario and the multiverse hypothesis (eternal inflation) proposed by Paul Steinhardt and Alexander Vilenkin.

Evidence: Indirect—no direct detection yet; remains theoretical.
