Inflation happens in a «cold» spacetime in its later phases, relatively weak
quantum fluctuations of
gravitons and presumably inflatons being present.
During this trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second,
quantum mechanical fluctuations in space - time generated
gravitons, gravitational ripples in space - time.
Previous work focused on trying to finding the
graviton — the
quantum unit of gravity — the sheer existence of which would unite the two theories.
In
quantum gravity, the hypothetical force - carrying particles are called
gravitons.
So far it seems to be working: the infinities that plague other theories of
quantum gravity have been tamed, and the theory spits out a well - behaved
graviton.
