Inflation theory explains rapid expansion from "summary" of A Breif History of Time and the Universe in a Nutshell by Stephen Hawking
Inflation theory provides a possible explanation for the rapid expansion of the universe in its early stages. According to this theory, the universe underwent a period of extremely rapid expansion in the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang. This rapid expansion would have smoothed out irregularities in the early universe and set the stage for the formation of galaxies and other large-scale structures we see today. During this inflationary period, the universe would have expanded faster than the speed of light, allowing it to grow to a much larger size than would have been possible otherwise. This rapid expansion would have str...
