Abstract

The present status of understanding of the early universe is reviewed, emphasizing the role of microphysics. It is argued that the inflationary stage appears to be eternal, and that the universe is not at all homogeneous, with an infinite number of Friedmann universes created from one maternal de Sitter universe. The problem of quantum unpredictability is discussed.
