In his popular cosmology book "Que faisiez-vous avant le Big Bang" (sorry, it doesn't seem to have been translated into English) Edgard Gunzig presents a scenario for spontaneous matter production by inflation whereby virtual particle-antiparticle pairs were separated by inflation too far apart in too short a space of time for them to be able to recombine. The scenario seems a bit too simplified (as any explanation invoking virtual particles). Can anyone give me a slightly better version, or is the idea not well-founded?
