In my textbook, "Universe" by Friedman et al it says the following:
"During inflation, however , the universe expands so fast that particles were rapidly separated from their corresponding antiparticles. Deprived of the oppurtunity to recombine and annhilate, these virtual particles became real particles in the real world. In this way, the universe was flooded with particles in the real world"
What I was wondering is that if the expansion of the universe continues to accelerate to the point its faster than the speed of light, wouldn't this process happen again?
