inflationary universe

The currently popular inflationary universe theory, which explains the “fix” as resulting from a sudden burst of accelerating expansion in the first split second of cosmic existence, provided additional fertile ground for Barrow’s theoretical explorations.

If, in fact, we do live in an inflationary universe in which galaxies grew from quantum chaos, then we should expect to find them randomly scattered throughout space.

In his book The Inflationary Universe, Alan Guth provides an analogy that helps to put this finding in perspective.

I’m assuming of course that you wish to build an inflationary universe.

I was then asked to give a seminar on the inflationary universe at Drexel University in Philadelphia.
