Physics Lectures for the General MIT Community:

3Cosmic Inflation and the Accelerating Universe


Prof. Alan Guth
Thu Jan 15, 01:30-02:30pm, 6-120

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

Inflationary cosmology offers possible explanations for many features of our universe, including its uniformity, its mass density, and the faint ripples that are now being observed in the cosmic background radiation. The recently discovered acceleration of the universe has radically altered our picture of the universe, but has also helped to confirm the basic predictions of inflation. Part of the Physics Lectures for the General MIT Community series.
