Abstract

While inflation has been an extremely successful cosmological paradigm, almost certainly something have had to have happened before it began. Can the pre-inflationary phase be of any theoretical or phenomenological significance? Could Quantum Gravity have played any interesting role in this story? These are some of the questions we want to explore in this essay written for the Gravity Research Foundation 2013 "Awards for Essays on Gravitation" competition.
