Answer

Englert was also a cosmologist. He was a key contributor to Theory of cosmic inflation. He proposed that the universe underwent a period of rapid expansion shortly after the Big Bang. This expansion would have smoothed out any irregularities in the universe and helped to explain why the universe is so uniform on large scales.
