Předmět:	General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
Druh dokumentu:	Working Paper
Popis:	Astronomers seem to be observing the fossilized remnants of quantum gravitational processes which took place during the epoch of {\it primordial inflation} that is conjectured to have occurred during the first $10^{-32}$ seconds of cosmic history. We give a non-technical description of what causes these processes and how they become preserved to survive to the current epoch. We also discuss some of the secondary effects which should result. Comment: 48 pages, 10 figures, uses PDFLaTeX, English version of a popular science article for a Chinese-language book celebrating the 100th anniversary of General Relativity, prepared by members of the Gravitation Society of Taiwan, edited by Hoi-Lai Yu
