Inflation and Dark Energy: One Cosmic Spring? ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Regularized vacuum stress tensor of a scalar field as the inflaton or dark energy"
The same quantum field, like a compressed spring, could have triggered both the instantaneous inflation of the Universe and its current accelerated expansion.

The same quantum “spring” could have stretched the Universe in its first moments and is causing galaxies to race apart today. Inflation and dark energy might be twins, born from gravity and a special field.
🎯 The Planck mass — around 22 micrograms — is the weight of a grain of sand or a tiny droplet. For a quantum field, such a mass is huge, though to us it’s imperceptible.
