Allan Adams: The discovery that could rewrite physics

The video explores the vastness of the universe, starting with stars and galaxies, leading to the Big Bang's afterglow. It discusses the precision mapping of this afterglow and the uniformity of the cosmic microwave background. The video highlights the importance of quantum fluctuations in forming cosmic structures. A significant discovery of gravitational waves from the early universe is explained, found by observing faint twists in light. The implications of the inflation theory are discussed, suggesting our universe is a bubble in a larger cosmic structure.

Explain the concept of inflation in relation to the universe.
