Abstract We construct a concrete model of Horndeski bounce with strong gravity in the past. Within this model we show that the correct spectra of cosmological perturbations may be generated at early contracting epoch. with mild fine-tuning ensuring that the scalar spectral tilt n S and tensor-to-scalar ratio r are consistent with observations. The smallness of r is governed by the sma... https://www.chiggate.com/merlot-redbud-tree-sale/
