Did Repulsive Gravity Trigger the Cosmos? 🌌

For decades, inflation has been the dominant cosmological scenario, but recently the theory has been subject to competition and critique. Two renowned pioneers of inflation -- Alan Guth and Andrei Linde -- join Brian Greene to make their strongest case for the inflationary theory.

This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.

Participants:
Alan Guth
Andrei Linde

Moderator:
Brian Greene
