Gravity was 'reversed' in the Big Bang? Instead of gravity 'pulling' it 'pushed'.

Observations of the cosmic microwave background - "fossil" radiation from the big bang - are consistent with the idea that inflation took place, but that doesn't mean it actually happened. What's more, we still don't know what would have caused it if it did. So how confident can we be that inflation is really a part of the universe's history?</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://christophergovanstreet.blogspot.com/2007/03/inside-inflation-after-big-bang.html">if only the force of gravity could be persuaded to change from pull to push for a very short time just after the big bang. The expansion of the universe would then speed up rather than slow down. The universe could then inflate by an enormous factor (10<SUP>30</SUP> or more) in a fraction of a millisecond.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3ED63FAF-0E9F-4F8D-A06D-C234B3D0B988/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
