Was it inflation that started off the universe to exist, or was it the Big Bang? The reason I ask is because from I've read is that the universe wasn't an explosion, but rather a rapid expansion. Was there a small explosion we call the big bang, then the cosmological inflation? Or was there first a smaller inflation we call the Big Bang, then a larger inflation we normally call inflation?
