PHYS 1070 Chapter Notes -Alan Guth, Big Bang, Univers
Document Summary
At the time these ideas were far feteched but now we wouldn"t dre question them, the idea of a multiverse may be similar. The bang is not mentioned, ie why what caused it. How particles formed in early universe, they examined whether the process they looked at would affect the expansion of the universe. After reviewing calculations (alan guth prof at mit), they discovered that these new found particle theory have a tremendous effect on the universe. What they found was that in the extreme environment of the early universe gravity can act in reverse instead of pulling it repels causing a huge expansion this repulsive gravity shed light on the beginning of big bang. Vlanken pondered as to what would cause inflation to stop, how would a reagion of space transition out of inflation, what would happen when inflation ends.
