Cosmology 1996
Michael S. Turner
Abstract
The current state of cosmology is easy to summarize: a very successful standard model -- the hot big-bang cosmology -- that accounts for the evolution of the Universe from 10-2 sec until the present; bold ideas based upon early-Universe physics -- foremost among them inflation and cold dark matter -- that can extend the standard cosmology to times as early as 10-32 sec and address the most pressing questions; and a flood of observations -- from determinations of the Hubble constant to measurements of CBR anisotropy -- that are testing inflation and cold dark matter.
