A standard model inflationary mechanism

ORAL

Abstract



A novel combination of standard model physics is shown sufficient to initiate the inflation era of the early universe[1]. It need only be assumed that quantum transitions occur within a single Planck time and that the initial singularity scaled with the Planck length. Conservation laws then initiate an inflationary result as the Pauli exclusion principle forces, at a minimum, that all conserved fermions initially have a quantum transition into adjacent locations in a Planck time. Subsequent matter-antimatter equilibria creates additional “unconserved” fermions which likewise have to transition to adjacent locations exacerbating inflation in a chain reaction fashion until a much later date when attractive forces are able to begin attenuating the runaway expansion.
