After this process, objects more than one degree apart were causally disconnected.
The leading models of this process are collectively known as alpha-attractor models. Two parameters related to the first and second derivatives of a scalar potential must be much less than one to satisfy the "slow-roll" conditions of this process. In a 2014 video, Chao-Lin Kuo delivers news to one of the originators of this theory on his doorstep that data supported this theory to "five sigma, r of 0.2," but that data collected by BICEP2 was likely contaminated by dust. After this process, objects more than one degree apart were causally disconnected. Paul Steinhardt, Alan Guth (gooth), and Andrei Linde (LIN-day) proposed this theory. This process explains the horizon, flatness, and magnetic monopole problems. For 10 points, name this proposed process that occurred about 10 to the negative 36 seconds after the Big Bang, in which space underwent exponential expansion.
