Inflationary Cosmology
Michael S. Turner
Abstract
Inflation is a bold and expansive extension of the Standard Cosmology. It holds the promise to extend our understanding of the Universe to within 10-32sec of the big bang and answer most of the pressing questions in cosmology. Its boldest assertion is that all the structure observed in the Universe today arose from quantum-mechanical fluctuations on subatomic scales. A flood of cosmological observations and laboratory experiments are testing inflation and within five years we should know whether inflation is to become part of a new standard cosmology.
