Dear Professor Kovac
I read about your ‘Inflation’ theory in The Australian on March 19. See the video also hereunder by Professor Chao Lin Kuo and ‘the founding father of Inflation theory’, Prof Andrei Linde.
I hope you win the Nobel Prize. As an amateur mathematician may I offer some constructive advice?
You may care to respond to these questions and perhaps adjust your material for our consumption. Much appreciate – I am sure you have all the data ready. We do understand numbers.
You may care to try to get those figures right. About the ‘’the trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second in The Australian, became ‘’millions and billions as delivered by Prof Linde.
Note also that the former is represented by 1 and 36 zeroes. Far more accurately delineated.
The latter is at huge variance by millions of per cent. Not elegant. Indeed it may not matter if you do not respond to other arenas herein this epistle.
Could you send me your calculations as to how you either of the above were calculated? I tutor people in the higher forms of large numbers and they are keen to understand why you did not use google plex: surely more manageable? AND of course – read below please.
We are also not able to appreciate the margin of error over 15.8 Billion years and how you accounted for it via your "five-sigma" certainty’’  to millions to one certainty. In two realms that clearly add to the potential for error by far to great a figure to meaningfully calculate here.
We would like to learn more about these theoretical calculations of yours.
Please note that these comments pasted here  also appear to be inelegant – for completely disparate reasons. I hope you understand what is implied – as it would take too long to elucidate.
‘’The theory posits that less than a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang, the universe expanded by a factor of 100 trillion, trillion times.’’
Yours Sincerely

PS
Inflation theory elicits Zimbabwe and post war Germany: surely one of them tangents are strained? Your title is seemingly trite- you may consider
