You are making your usual leap of faith by calling theory, proof. That's ok, I like the company of true believers. You all have such passion for your beliefs.

However this theory is not the proof of what you claimed. It says we have this Gumball universe that almost instantly becomes nearly the whopper we see today. You conclude there was nothing before this but you have no rational reasoning to back up this conclusion. It's a theory, but setting that aside for a moment, you do not qualify the existence of this gumball U in any way... you have no proof that the little gumball wasn't the sudden collapse of a previous state of big U just a trillianth of a second earlier or over billions of years or some such time lapse? Even if I agree to entertain your theory, where'd the gumball come from.

"Previous experiments—including WMAP results released in 2003—had provided strong evidence for the rapid-expansion theory, called inflation, that was first proposed by physicist Alan Guth in 1980.

In the trillion-trillionth of a second after the big bang, the universe expanded from the size of a gumball to astronomical proportions, according to the inflation theory. The universe then settled into a more leisurely pace of expansion over the past 13.7 billion years or so."
