It is 25 years since the workshop that marked the birth of the inflationary Universe and the laying of the theoretical foundations of modern cosmology. Following a flood of data, the inflationary ...

Inflationary theory dates to the late 1970s and early 1980s, when physicists were trying to understand why the universe is so ...

The universe began with a vast explosion that ... energy that existed in the vacuum of space was suddenly mobilized. The inflationary expansion ended only when this energy was transformed into ...

The Hartle–Hawking proposal imagines a universe emerging from a smooth, compact geometry, yet it typically predicts too few inflationary e-folds to match our observations. Meanwhile, Vilenkin's ...

And it will explore the deep early history of the universe itself. SPHEREx researchers are interested in understanding what happened during the inflationary epoch, when the universe expanded ...

the last surviving remnants of the universe as we know it, will have disappeared. Along the way you'll learn of how the early inflationary period led to the birth of stars and galaxies ...

With Stephen Hawking, he developed the Hawking-Turok Instanton Theory describing the birth of inflationary universes. With Paul Steinhardt, he developed a cyclic universe scenario, described in ...
