Inflation needs gravitational force which is not attractive in nature (repulsive). Until one has developed such a theorem (Quantum theory of gravity), it's all hypothetical.

    Fair enough. Outside quantum levels, gravity always act as an attractive force. There's a reason why quantum physics and normal physics haven't been combined yet.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
