1.3.4 Cosmic Inflation
The horizon problem, or the homogeneity and isotropy of the Universe, can also be easily explained according to the Duality of Time, which in fact provides a creation scenario that is equivalent to but more realistic than (eternal) inflation, because the continuous and perpetual creation in the inner levels of time does not require any infinite hypothetical Universes. No matter how large and complex the Universe might be, and thus how long it might take to be created in the inner levels of time, the creation is still instantaneous on the outward level that we encounter.
Currently, the accepted solution to the horizon problem is the inflationary model that was originally introduced by Alan Guth and developed in the early 1980s, but soon proved that this may lead to eternal inflation, or what is known as the chaotic inflation theory, because it must continue in most parts of the Universe, producing hot bubbles that are the seeds of new universes, thus generating a hypothetical infinite multiverse.
The Duality of Time does not lead to any of these problems because it replaces inflation in the outer (physical) level of time with perpetual creation from one single geometrical point in the inner metaphysical level, so the physical Universe will still be finite.
In fact, the Duality of Time can also be considered alternative to the cyclic, or oscillating, models which were seriously considered by early theoretical physicists, including Einstein, but those models failed because they violate the second law of thermodynamics. The Duality of Time does not only comply with this law, but it can also explain why entropy can only increase, because of this intrinsic arrow of time on the inner levels. With this perpetual creation scenario, the Universe oscillates, by inflating and deflating, between the instances of the outward level of time, without reversing the entropy because this process of perpetual creation is performed in a natural one linear chronological sequence in the inner levels.
