✨ Thread Intro: Visualizing Cosmic Inflation and the Big Bang ✨

Ever wondered how our universe began? 🤔

I'm exploring cosmic inflation—the rapid expansion of space driven by the mysterious inflaton field. My short, illustrative video clips represent key stages of this theory, starting from a hypothetical quantum field through inflation, quantum fluctuations, reheating into Big Bang plasma, and formation of tiny primordial black holes (PBHs).

Earlier, I shared a visualization showing how some of these PBHs might have evaporated into Hawking radiation, leaving subtle imprints (Hawking relics) that possibly influenced the formation of the first stars and galaxies. hachyderm.io/@suzannealdrich/1

👇 Follow along to see each step illustrated clearly and explained scientifically—complete with references to current theories and observational evidence from missions like JWST, DESI, Planck, and more!

Note: These visuals are conceptual illustrations—not literal representations of the extreme energies and forces involved.

Attached: 1 image Witness the birth of everything. I created an AI-generated video illustration to accompany this fascinating article on the inflationary universe and primordial black holes. It visualizes the chaotic beauty of space expanding, black holes evaporating, and the universe reheating, setting the stage for stars and galaxies to form. From swirling plasma to Hawking relics subtly shaping cosmic structure, this is a glimpse into the raw power of the early universe.
