Alan Guth
This is the compelling, first-hand account of Alan Guthâ€™s paradigm-breaking discovery of the origins of the universeâ€”and of his dramatic rise from young researcher to physics superstar. Guthâ€™s startling theoryâ€”widely regarded as one of the most important contributions to science during the twentieth centuryâ€”states that the big bang was set into motion by a period of hyper-rapid â€œinflation,â€ lasting only a billion-trillion-billionth of a second. ,The Inflationary Universe, is the passionate story of one leading scientistâ€™s effort to look behind the cosmic veil and explain how the universe began.
