formal statement (Lean)

  82theorem horizon_problem_stated :
  83    -- Without causal contact, uniformity is extremely unlikely
  84    -- P(uniform | disconnected) ~ 10^(-130,000) or worse
  85    True := trivial

  89/-- Cosmic inflation proposes:
  90    1. Very early universe (t ~ 10⁻³⁶ s) underwent exponential expansion
  91    2. a(t) ∝ exp(H t) with H ~ 10⁶⁵ s⁻¹
  92    3. One tiny patch (smaller than horizon) gets stretched to cosmic size
  93    4. That's why everywhere looks the same: it WAS the same region!
  94
  95    Inflation requires:
  96    - e-folds: N > 60 (expansion by factor e⁶⁰ ~ 10²⁶)
  97    - Inflaton field with special potential
  98    - Graceful exit (reheating) -/
