Q_1_19 — Cosmic Inflation Alternatives: Bouncing, Cyclic, and Variable Speed of Light Models

Cosmic inflation — the paradigm that the universe underwent exponential expansion in the first ~10⁻³⁶ to 10⁻³² seconds — has been the standard framework for explaining the horizon problem (why the cosmic microwave backgr

Q_1_03 — Ancient Cosmologies Compared: How Civilizations Understood the Universe

Every civilization on Earth constructed a cosmology — a model of how the universe began, how it is structured, and how it will end. What is remarkable is not the differences but the convergences: primordial waters as the

Q_1_13 — Cosmic Strings and Topological Defects

Cosmic strings are one-dimensional topological defects that may have formed during symmetry-breaking phase transitions in the early universe, analogous to cracks in ice or vortex lines in superfluids. Predicted by Kibble

Cosmic inflation — the hypothesis that the universe underwent an exponential expansion in the first 10⁻³⁶ to 10⁻³² seconds after the Big Bang — was proposed by Alan Guth in 1981 to resolve critical problems in standard B

Q_1_12 — Conformal Cyclic Cosmology: Penrose's Vision of Eternal Recurrence

Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC), proposed by Roger Penrose in 2005, envisions the universe as an infinite sequence of "aeons" — each beginning with a Big Bang-like event and ending in an infinitely expanded, cold state

Q_1_09 — Fate of the Universe

How will the universe end? This question has moved from philosophy and eschatology into hard physics, driven by the 1998 discovery that the universe's expansion is ACCELERATING (Riess et al. 1998; Perlmutter et al. 1999

Q_1_20 — Fractal Cosmology: Is the Universe Self-Similar Across Scales?

The observable universe organises matter into a staggering fractal-like web of galaxy filaments, walls, voids, and clusters — structures visible at scales from 1 Mpc (galaxy groups) to 600 Mpc (the Hercules-Corona Boreal
