Scientific paper

Modifying the standard hot big bang model of cosmology with an inflationary event has been very successful in resolving most of the outstanding cosmological problems. The various inflationary mechanisms proposed depend on the production of expansion from exotic phenomena, false vacuum, scalar fields or other exotic particle behaviour within an environment of astronomically high energy, making such proposals relatively inaccessible for verification by experimental tests. Though descriptive of how space has been expanding, the models do not give a complete and consistent mathematical or physical explanation that compels space appearance and propels its expansion. Here we describe another mechanism for achieving exponential inflation based substantially on already tested physics and equations, particularly the thermodynamic equation, dS = dE/T and relate this to the creation event.
