This is an example of the extreme fine tuning you need to make the obervable universe work:

>During the inflationary epoch about 10^−36 until 10^-32 a second after the Big Bang, the universe suddenly expanded, and its volume increased by a factor of at least 10^78 (an expansion of distance by a factor of at least 10^26 in each of the three dimensions), equivalent to expanding an object 1 nanometer (10^−9 m, about half the width of a molecule of DNA) in length to one approximately 10.6 light years (about 10^17 m or 62 trillion miles) long.

Note that Cosmic Inflation is used as an explanation to radically lessen the amount of necessary fine tuning needed to explain the Horizon Problem. All you need is a magic force that turns on for an instant (10^-3-4 seconds) casting Humongous Maximus and expands everything equivalently from the size of a few folded proteins to the size of twice the distance of Earth to Alpha Centauri, at the perfect rate to still allow galactic structure necessary for star formation, but not too fast or too long to separate all quanta from eachother in a dark rip, but not too slow or too short to allow gravity to collapse everything into a big crunch, and then magically turns off just an instant later to produce the homogeneous non-local universe we observe today. And this is a less fine tuned universe than explains more phenomena organically than without the Humongous Maximus spell.
