Perspectives in cosmology
Abstract
The "new standard cosmology", based on the theory of inflation, has very impressive observational support. I review some outstanding problems of the new cosmology and the global view of the universe -- the multiverse -- that it suggests. I focus in particular on prospects for further observational tests of inflation and of the multiverse.
