Cosmological inflation is not the only early universe scenario consistent with current observational data. I will discuss the criteria for a successful early universe cosmology, compare a couple of the proposed scenarios (inflation, bouncing cosmologies, and the {\it emergent} scenario), focusing on how future observational data will be able to distinguish between them. I will argue that we need to go beyond effective field theory in order to understand the early universe, and that principles of superstring theory will yield a nonsingular cosmology.

A Non-Inflationary Axion and ALP Misalignment Mechanism
A thermally mediated, Planck-suppressed symmetry breaking potential can supply the initial axion misalignment that inflationary cosmology normally provides, allowing late-time coherent oscillations without inflation.
