Description
Non-linear dynamics of cosmological inhomogeneities allow tiny fluctuations on small scales to generate white noise inhomogeneities on much larger scales which, in standard cosmology, will dominate on the largest scales. Observational limits on such a white noise component place severe limits on even tiny small scale fluctuations at early times. In other words the early universe must have been very quiet.
