Epic Expansion: The Case for Inflationary Cosmology For decades, inflation has been the dominant cosmological scenario, but recently the theory has been subject to competition and critique. Two renowned pioneers of inflation — Alan Guth and Andrei Linde — join Brian Greene to make their strongest case for the inflationary theory.

In physical cosmology, cosmic inflation, cosmological inflation, or just inflation, is a theory of exponential expansion of space in the early universe.The inflationary epoch is believed to have lasted from 10 −36 seconds to between 10 −33 and 10 −32 seconds after the Big Bang.Following the inflationary period, the universe continued to expand, but at a slower rate.

According to inflationary cosmology (1-3), the universe expanded exponentially quickly for a fraction of a second very early in its history—growing from a patch as small as 10 -26 m, one hundred billion times smaller than a proton, to macroscopic scales on the order of a meter, all within about 10 -35 s—before slowing down to the more

An introductory account is given of the inflationary cosmology, which postulates a period of accelerated expansion during the Universe's earliest stages. The historical motivation is briefly outlined, and the modelling of the inflationary epoch explained. The most important aspect of inflation is that it provides a possible model for the origin of structure in the Universe, and key results are

The main aim of this paper is to provide a qualitative introduction to the cosmic inflation and its relationship with current cosmological observations. The inflationary model solves many of the fundamental problems that challenge the Standard Big Bang cosmology i.e. Flatness, Horizon and Monopole problem, and additionally provides an explanation for the initial conditions observed throughout

In physical cosmology, the inflationary epoch was the period in the evolution of the early universe when, according to inflation theory, the universe underwent an extremely rapid exponential expansion.This rapid expansion increased the linear dimensions of the early universe by a factor of at least 10 26 (and possibly a much larger factor), and so increased its volume by a factor of at least

For these reasons, the cosmological inflationary model is currently forming a kind of paradigm in physical cosmology (see, [13]), e.g. it is described in the vast majority of cosmology textbooks.

The last few years have been a remarkably exciting time for cosmology, with new observations of unprecedented accuracy yielding many surprises.

A plethora of models have been suggested, all of which share the common feature that the universe goes through a brief period of rapid expansion. This rapid expansion is manifested in the evolution of the scale factor, a(t). In the case of inflation, a(t) ~ t n, where n > 1 and the universe expands faster than light. This does not violate

Measurements of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy have served as the best experimental probe of the early universe to date. The inflationary paradigm, inspired in part by the extreme isotropy of the CMB, is now a cornerstone in modern cosmology. Inflation has passed a series of rigorous experimental tests, but we still do not understand the physical mechanism or energy scale behind

Abstract I present a recent historical case from cosmology—the story of inflationary cosmology—and on its basis argue that solving explanatory problems is a reliable method for making progress in science. In particular, I claim that the success of inflationary theory at solving its predecessor's explanatory problems justified the theory epistemically, even in advance of the development

Cosmic inflation is the exponential expansion of the very early universe driven by 'slow-roll' of a hypothetical scalar field from a false to a true vacuum, lasting between 10 -36 to 10 -32 seconds, and leading to the end of that time to an expansion of a factor of about 10 60, and to 'reheating' -- the dumping of energy from the
