Dear Paulan;
Inflation, as the name also suggests, means that the cosmos inflated from small size to large size in very short time. Although this solved many problems, but in the beginning there were no explanation as to why such extreme thing could happen. The idea of false vacuum was one possible explanation, but then this lead to eternal inflation because the condition for false vacuum is always there somewhere in the cosmos, actually in many regions.
As you can see this means that every moment of time there are many new universes are born, each of which could develop many newer baby universes, and so on. I believe this is absurd! Really!
In the duality of time, the universe is not inflated but re-created every moment of time. The difference is very big, but the effect is equivalent, because re-creation is on the metaphysical level, the inner level of time.
So the first benefit is that we can now explain homogeneity very easily because, no matter how large and complex it might be, and thus how long it might take to be created in the inner level of time, the creation is still instantaneous on the outward level that we encounter.
Second, the monopole problem is also solved, but this requires longer discussion. Only I could tell you here that the monopole is the single monad itself, the metaphysical point, but it only exists coupled with other instances on the physical level. In my original book I showed that although the Single Monad is metaphysical, it is still compound of deeper elements, this is very difficult to explain here.
So the duality of time can be considered an alternative realistic scenario to eternal inflation, because by replacing inflation in the outer (physical) level of time with continuous creation from one single point in the inner metaphysical level, the universe will still be finite because multiplicity is only observed at the outer level. In fact, this scenario can also be considered as alternative to the cyclic, or oscillating, models considered by early theoretical physicists, including Einstein, but those models failed because they violate the second law of thermodynamics. The duality of time, however, does not only comply with this law, but it can also explain why entropy can only increase because of this intrinsic arrow of time on the inner level. With this continuous creation scenario, the universe oscillates between the instances of the outward level of time, without reversing the entropy because this process of continuous space construction is metaphysical since it is performed by one single monad.
Best Regards
