摘要：On the one hand, ination is an extremely convincing scenario: it solves most cosmological paradoxes and generates uctuations that became the seeds for the growth of structures. It, however, suffers from a "naturalness" problem: generating initial conditions for ination is far from easy. On the other hand, loop quantum cosmology is very successful: it solves the Big Bang singularity through a non-perturbative and background-independent quantization of general relativity. It, however, suffers from a key drawback: it is extremely difcult to test. Recent results can let us hope that ination and LQC could mutually cure those pathologies: LQC seems to naturally generate ination and ination could allow us to test LQC.
