  There is something missing in our understanding of the origin of the seeds of
Cosmic Structuture.
  The fact that the fluctuation spectrum can be extracted from the inflationary
scenario through an analysis that involves quantum field theory in curved
space-time, and that it coincides with the observational data has lead to a
certain complacency in the community, which prevents the critical analysis of
the obscure spots in the derivation. The point is that the inhomogeneity and
anisotropy of our universe seem to emerge from an exactly homogeneous and
isotropic initial state through processes that do not break those symmetries.
This article gives a brief recount of the problems faced by the arguments based
on established physics, which comprise the point of view held by a large
majority of researchers in the field.
  The conclusion is that we need some new physics to be able to fully address
the problem. The article then exposes one avenue that has been used to address
the central issue and elaborates on the degree to which, the new approach makes
different predictions from the standard analyses.
  The approach is inspired on Penrose's proposals that Quantum Gravity might
lead to a real, dynamical collapse of the wave function, a process that we
argue has the properties needed to extract us from the theoretical impasse
described above.
