How is it possible that today's diverse universe was able to arise from that which was very homogeneous at its first moments?
A) Inflation magnified ultrasmall quantum variations in position and momenta.
B) There is evidence of a second, slightly smaller Big Bang that took place very shortly after the initial Big Bang, which would account for the variation in structure.
C) The rapidly cooling universe created massive quantities of hydrogen, and then helium, which interacted with each other to create regions of relative structure.
D) Entropy immediately came into effect, slowing down some areas of expansion, while increasing others.
