If the temperature was non uniform when the BB occurred, if it occurred, why would a sudden increase in its volume, aka inflation, erase or wash out those non uniformities? ISTM, it would preserve them.
It might preserve them, but it would push them beyond the visible part of the universe.
OTOH, if the initial temperature were uniform, would that obviate the need for inflation, or would non uniformities tend to become manifest were it not for inflation? TIA, AG
No, Guth actually proposed inflation as a way to explain the absence of magnetic monopoles and the apparent spatial flatness of the universe.
