Heisenberg's principle: a cosmological speculation

TL;DR

This paper proposes that Heisenberg's uncertainty principle can generate primordial fluctuations across various scales, potentially explaining the large-scale structure of the universe observed today.

Contribution

It introduces a novel cosmological mechanism linking quantum uncertainty to structure formation, expanding understanding of early universe dynamics.

Findings

Uncertainty principle can produce fluctuations at multiple scales.

These fluctuations could seed the universe's large-scale structure.

Abstract

It is shown how the uncertainty principle can provide a mechanism for the generation of fluctuations of very diverse scales in the early universe. This phenomenon could account for the large-scale structure observed today.
