There's an uncertainty in the title. It allows for the interpretation that the fundamental cause of existence of light resides in gravity, somehow. The presentation states that some processes related to gravitational waves can lead to generating photons, wich is a much weaker statement. It's kind of saying that turning the light on is the reason photons exist. :)

Correction.
Alan Guth inflationary theory proposes that the universe expanded in the inflationary period from a plank size to the size of a nugget, effectively in an expansion rate where 2 points separated at speed faster than light (not to the current size as said in this video).
Then from nugget size kept expanding but according to the standard big bang theory
Very nice video, I enjoyed the explanations and the animations, pretty cool 🙂👍

07:00 "Two particles that were an atom's width apart before inflation would have been more than a thousand lighyears apart <after>." Even if the arithmetic per se may be sound, this is a bit confusing, and maybe even misleading. Since we are putting things in perspective, I take it the calculation is hypothetical, because, within the theoretical framework of inflation, there were no particles prior to inflation, and if there had been, the universe was so dense that no two particles could have been much more than a planck length apart. The width of an atom is between 1,000 and 10,000 times that of a proton, which is 10^20 times a planck length. (I'm disregarding the bewildering possibility that the universe might have been infinite already prior to inflation.)

I've always figured the expansion wasn't so much about space extending outward, but rather inward. The so called "bang" was more like an implosion where the resolution of space increased. Like Planck scale increased, analogous to a centimeter growing more notches of measure, say 100x more notches yet within the same length of the original centimeter. So there same effect, kinda sorta, but with the understanding we still live inside a small singularity type sized space. That the space within grew, and that's a subtle difference. Purely speculative, off course, but it does help fit some of the vacuum energy conundrums this research paper attempts to tackle. I like this theory because it's a novel way to think about the topic.

Hey Dr. Ben Miles, your videos are amazing and you deserve more recognition. Can you please do a video on the recent discovery of the James Webb telescope that found a possible galaxy that formed only 1 billion years after the Big Bang. Not sure how accurate that is so don’t quote me. But I would be very interested.

Dr Ben, I realize that as a science communicator you may choose from time to time to phase conjectures as fact to make the subject more approachable but I would remind you that causality even in theoretical works is invariant. In QFT a 'known ' particle can be assigned a field , but this does not apply for a 'unknown' particle as this creates a circular validation argument which cannot hold.

I always think it funny that astrophysicists talk like it is certain they know what happened to the nearest billionth of a second at the start, then are now uncertain what happened during the next billion years or so. (Uncertain because of JWST' find of early galaxies.) I am not questioning it, just find somehow ironic.

Time is fascinating. I worked the subway stations for nearly 10 years. From one end of the city to the other. Every so often I would notice the city would be saying that, "Today just flew by" or "The day was just dragging along." How can an entire city complain about the same time paradox unless it was effected by it. Maybe a time distorted bubble the earth passes through in its revolution around the sun. Maybe random waves of time distortion hitting the earth? Maybe they're randomly given off by the sun. Maybe they're from outside our Terran system and reach us in intervals. ???? Ti-i-i-ime, is on my side. Yes, it is!
