Inflationary Cosmology Guth EIGHT

Dr. Alan Guth, Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,

is best known for the "inflationary" theory of cosmology in which many features of

our universe, including how it came to be so uniform and why it began so close to

the critical density can be explained by. Dr. Guth is the author of The

Inflationary Universe, the Quest for a New Theory of Cosmic Origins, Alan Guth, A

Golden Age of Cosmology and other publications. He will be presenting a talk

entitled "Inflationary Cosmology."

@vril5 We have been measuring the expansion of the universe, and how it to everybodies surprise was accelerating, through the Hubble telescope. THEN, after measuring the expansion had been measured, and because of these measurements dark energy was postulated. That should clear things up :)

[vril5]

You have some Dark Matter (You dont know how much)

Postulate: Universe i expanding!

Then: You can actually figure out how much dark energy there is by figuring out the speed of the accelerating expanding universe.

It sounds like something is missing ! :)
