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."

  • 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?

  • isotopes of H & He & a few of Li

  • Have to disagre with you sir,

  • Five stars, and I subscribed thank you for sharing.

  • Thx for sharing this!!!
