Fascinating article, but I'd still like to know more about that 8th figure on the inflation model. We are told that the y-axis represents energy, but what is the x-axis? It clearly isn't time because it's being measured in phi over something measured in GeV.


The attribution to Ned Wright takes you here:

which has a lot more information. Phi is defined as the Higgs scalar field.
