Physicist Alan Guth, the father of cosmic inflation theory, describes emerging ideas about where our universe comes from, ...

Inflation is now a built-in piece of our standard story of cosmic evolution. But it’s still controversial. In 2014, researchers claimed to have seen ripples from inflation imprinted on the ...

Today, the dominant theoretical approach combines string theory, a powerful mathematical framework with no successful physical predictions as yet, and “cosmic inflation” – the idea that ...

The eBse model introduces a unique framework for comprehending cosmic inflation, identifying temperature (T) as the inflaton and the potential energy density ψ(T) as a plateau potential.

Today, the dominant theoretical approach combines string theory, a powerful mathematical framework with no successful physical predictions as yet, and “cosmic inflation” — the idea that ...

Their paper, published in Physical Review Letters, suggests that this measurement could help to explore the connection between cosmic inflation and particle physics. "One of the most astonishing ...

by Courtney Schley and James Austin These games can introduce kids to new genres, help them build skills, and offer provocative and age-appropriate challenges, engaging themes, and distinctive ...

CAL FIRE's prescribed burn in Sonoma County started strong but had to be called off early because grasses were too wet from overnight rains. Firefighters say they'll be back on Tuesday to try and ...

Today, the dominant theoretical approach combines string theory, a powerful mathematical framework with no successful physical predictions as yet, and “cosmic inflation” – the idea that, at a very ...
