The concept of inflation helps solve both the problems of the flatness of the universe and smoothness of the cosmic background radiation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inflationary theory proposes that immediately after the Big Bang, the universe underwent a period of rapid expansion, causing it to become flat and uniform. This solves the problems of the flatness of the universe (why it appears to be flat despite being curved) and the uniformity of the cosmic microwave background radiation (why it is so evenly distributed). Therefore, the statement is true.
