New Higgs and Inflation questions

Seems to be more information that is contentious about the early universe inflation period. In this article https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/deep-space/a61816635/science-suggests-universe-shouldnt-exist/ they talk about how the Higgs boson field can change states and change the laws of physics. This implies two very important things. One is that the inflationary period is not correct and something is missing, hence the much larger time frame and actual experience of the molecules themselves, and two that there is something in the universe actively holding the Higgs field in a higher state of experiential existence. This would related to potential universal conscious fields. Very interesting.
