“There was no amount of double-checking that would ever prove that nothing had been missed.”
Daniel Abraham (1969) speculative fiction writer from the United States

“The gravitational repulsion created by this small patch of repulsive gravity material would be, then, the driving force of the Big Bang and it would cause the region to undergo exponential expansion… there is a certain doubling time, and if you wait the same amount of time it doubles again, and if you wait the same amount of time it doubles again… and it's because these doublings build up so dramatically, it doesn't take very much time to build the whole universe. In about 100 doublings this tiny patch of 10-28 cm can become large enough, not to be the universe, but to be a small marble-sized region which will then ultimately become the observed universe, as it continues to coast outward after inflation ends.”
