inflationary theory

If the small hot spots look as expected, that will be a triumph for yet another scientific idea, a refinement of the Big Bang called the inflationary universe theory.

假如这些小热点看上去同预计的一致，那就意味着又一科学论说的胜利，这种论说即更完美的大爆炸论，亦称宇宙膨胀说。

The beauty of this picture is that it automatically incorporates the great insight of standard inflationary theory-namely, that the universe had to undergo a period of acceleration to become so homogeneous and isotropic.

这个图像漂亮之处，在于它自动并入了标准暴胀理论的伟大洞见；也就是说，宇宙必须经历一段加速的时期，才能变得如此均匀且各向同性。
