I'm not convinced it's right I'm just not convinced it's dead wrong as you seem to be. *> Why has the inflation not been seen at LHC?* > The LHC just went offline, when it comes back online after 2 years of upgrades it should reach energies close to 15 TeV which corresponds to a temperature of 10^17 Kelvin, and that is the temperature the entire universe was in when it was about 10^-17 seconds old. But inflation was over by the time the universe was 10^-35 seconds old. To inflation the universe was already ancient when it was 10^-17 seconds old. This may be related to the fact that no particle accelerator has found anything surprising in 50 years; but telescopes have, they've revealed new physics to us. > *> At the end of the inflationary period, the temperature was absolute > zero everywhere -- no fluctuations.* > If something was at absolute zero it would violate the third law of thermodynamics. It would also violate quantum mechanics because you'd know exactly what the velocity of a particle was (zero) and therefore its position would not be meaningful because division by zero is not defined.
