Alan Guth is a professor of physics at MIT and a Nobel laureate for his theory of inflation. He has worked on the early universe, cosmology, particle physics, and quantum gravity. He invented the inflationary universe model and calculated the spectrum of density fluctuations that led to structure in the universe.
Alan Guth, the physicist who proposed the theory of cosmic inflation, discusses how it explains the origin, structure and evolution of our universe. He also explores the possibility of primordial black holes, the seeds of dark matter, and the eternity of the multiverse.

Mar 20, 2014 · MIT physicist Alan Guth explains how new results bolster his 1980 theory of cosmic inflation, which describes the propulsion mechanism that drove the universe into the period of tremendous expansion from a mere dot into a dense ball. He discusses the significance of the new BICEP2 results, which measure the stretching effect of inflation on the geometry of space and the temperature nonuniformities of the cosmic microwave background.
