Inflationary Cosmology Guth ONE TWO

[rad802]

The big bang and inflation:

According to brane theory two branes touched or bumped into each other at a point and this was the singularity of the big bang.

However if we think of these two branes continuing to contact at an increasingly larger radius moving at a rate greater than the speed of light would this not explain how inflation occurred?

What if these branes are like soap bubbles and our universe is the contact surface of these two bubbles.

This subject just amazes me to no end...

Great post, thanks

I'm doing my masters in inflation, and I just had a long conversation with one of our cosmology staff at UCL. He claims that the Flatness Problem isn't a problem, that Ellis (of Hawking & Ellis fame) and others are dead set against the need for an explanation for the Flatness "Problem." His basic argument: the Universe remains flat, and DOES NOT diverge over cosmological time. So, no need for explanation. Though, obviously, inflation is required for primordial perturbations etc. Thoughts?

[astrophoto]

He spoke at SkyScrapers, Scituate, RI- click MORE for complete info. BTW: where are you?

[Cole77788]

Oh well he is on the other side of the country.

I know he is VF of physics at MIT

but i was wondering if he might come here.

im in AZ
