Inflation

A theory proposing a period of extremely rapid exponential expansion of the universe in its very early stages, right after the Big Bang. It is able to predict the universe uniformity in all directions and its tiny temperature fluctuations. Inflation has strong observational support, though there are still many details to uncover and understand.
