In a normal vacuum there are continual fluctuations of virtual partical pairs that appear and disappear in a fraction of a second. These fluctuations are a result of the quantum fields that permiate through out the fabric of space-time.

But, in inflation the rapidly stretching space pulls the partical pairs apart so they can't recombine and annihilate one another.

This is what gives rise to all the structure we see in the universe.

With our most powerful tool in hand, dialectics, we can see the nature of reality is not predeterministic, even deterministic, but all things can be viewed as a function of probability.

Dialectics shows us a system in constant movement. Where the best we can do is to overdetermin, in other words approximate with as many factors as possible.

Let's end with Anti-Duhring. "Freedom does not consist in any dreamt-of independence from natural laws, but in the knowledge of these laws, and in the possibility this gives of systematically making them work towards definite ends."
