Inflation is a Quantum Field Theory explanation for a cosmological issue.

This only goes to prove that God was a particle physicist...someone, on some planet in the dim darkest past was playing around with just such energies in a particle accelerator, when....Oops....another BB was created. Instant false vacuum followed by inflation and hey presto, new universe
Now, all we have to do is find the guy's name tag and we'll know God's name
I just hope this time it's someone cool like Brian Cox, or super eminent like Ed Witten, that presses the little red "go" button
