Inflationary Cosmology

The following sections are included:

• CONTENTS

Over the past ten to twenty billion years, the universe has evolved from a state of extreme simplicity into a world of marvelous complexity. Why was the early universe so remarkably simple (that is so homogeneous and isotropic) and how did the complex galactic structure we see today arise? Inflationary cosmology is an attempt to answer these and other fundamental cosmological questions…
