Following Sakharov, the authors liken spacetime to an elastic medium with the gravitational constant G playing the role of a temperature-dependent elastic constant. Within this approximation scheme, if G is a decreasing function of temperature, then the flatness and horizon problems are less severe but cannot be solved completely. Hence it appears that some type of inflationary scenario is unavoidable if these fine tuning problems are to be solved without fundamental modifications of the Einstein equations.
