<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black">The observed properties of the primordial fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) can provide constraints on physical theories in regimes otherwise inaccessible to
experiment. Given the extreme conditions in the early Universe, the CMB is our best hope of uncovering fingerprints of the physics operating at very high energy scales, inaccessible to Earth-bound particle accelerators. But what created these primordial inhomogeneities?
The Planck satellite has recently dramatically sharpened our view of the early Universe and provided a window into the origin of cosmic structure. I will describe how the Planck data promote our understanding of the extreme physics of the very early Universe,
and what we have yet to learn.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
