A wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey path to salvation
In a recent preprint, Cristian and Sébastien show the robustness of Starobinsky and Higgs inflation to inhomogeneous initial conditions of all sizes. They have performed full numerical relativity simulations with strong inhomogeneous initial field and velocities. After some “wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey” evolution, the system relaxes towards… Cosmic Inflation.

Vortons are centrifugally supported cosmic string loops that can be continuously created at all times during the cosmological expansion. Could they be all of the dark matter?

The gravitational waves emitted during the merging of two black holes of 85 and 66 times the sun mass have been detected on May 25, 2019 by the LIGO detectors in the United States and the Virgo detector in Italy.
