> GK: exactly how many pieces do we have for inflation? for a flat universe? For the distances we are using in space to be correct? You know the standard model assumes the graviton? What evidence is there for that? for strings?-Quite correct points. At least Guth claims he has a kind of reverse proof in his book. His predicted curves fit the CMB findings. As for the graviton, gravity is a force field and it should have its own particle, but correct, no evidence. Strings, a complete dead end, with thousands of research careers dependent uppon it. Woit and Smolin both have critical books on it.
