Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Inflationary cosmology augments the hot Big Bang history with a hypothesized earlier epoch of accelerated expansion and a mechanism for primordial perturbations.

How to interpret this relation type

A more specific theory, model, entity class, or regime is obtained by restricting or extending the scope of a broader framework.
