Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the inflationary epoch, the universe was dominated by a single field, the inflaton, which caused a rapid expansion of the universe. At this time, the four fundamental forces of nature (gravity, strong, electroweak, and electromagnetic) were unified into a single force. However, as inflation continued, the strong force separated from the electroweak force. Therefore, the correct statement is that there were only three distinct forces: gravity, strong, and electroweak.
