I thought inflation was a theory just to explain how the universe is bigger that than light can travel over the age of the universe.
The idea that space itself can expand/that two things that aren't moving are actually getting farther apart is tricky because there is energy in "empty space" so inflation is basically suggesting that energy *can* be created which we all know isn't true. So there are some loose ends but it does explain some stuff.
