In our best description of the beginning of the Universe, the Big Bang was followed by a period of exponential expansion of the time-space that makes the Universe. This epoch of inflation only lasted 10−36 seconds and it could have left an imprint on the distribution of the matter.
In our best understanding, the Universe is dominated by two elusive components: dark matter and dark energy. There is a strong effort to constrain these dark components using galaxies as their tracers.
