📝 Important note:
These visuals are illustrative only—not precise physical depictions of magnitudes or forces involved. Actual conditions during inflation involved extreme energies (near ~10¹⁶ GeV), densities, and scales far beyond intuitive visualization. My illustrations aim purely for conceptual clarity.

Enjoy exploring our cosmic origins! ✨🔭🌠

🕳️ Clip 8: Transition to Primordial Universe (Black Holes Form)
This visualization illustrates tiny density fluctuations collapsing into primordial black holes (PBHs) within the hot early universe plasma—originally proposed by Hawking & Carr (1970s). PBHs could influence cosmic structure and potentially explain dark matter. Observational searches ongoing, including data from JWST, LIGO, and future space missions.

🔥 Clip 7: Reheating Begins
Depicted here is "reheating," where the inflaton’s potential energy rapidly converts into hot plasma of standard model particles, marking the Big Bang's fiery start (~10²⁷ Kelvin initially). This transition phase, predicted by cosmologists including Linde, remains theoretically robust yet poorly understood.
