Jun 8, 2024 · Elected. 2011. Authored theories of the origin of the universe that have revolutionized cosmology. Helped establish the concept of inflation-wherein the universe began with a rapid expansion of space in a vacuum-like state.
Jun 26, 2024 · Alexei Starobinsky, Alan Guth, and Andrei Linde won the 2014 Kavli Prize "for pioneering the theory of cosmic inflation". It was developed further in the early 1980s. It explains the origin of the large-scale structure of the cosmos.
Jun 28, 2024 · Andrei Linde is a professor of physics at Stanford University, one of the authors of the inflationary theory and the theory of inflationary multiverse. He invented the theory of chaotic inflation, which is the most general version of inflationary cosmology.
Jun 13, 2024 · Single-field models of accelerated expansion with nearly flat potentials, despite being able to provide observationally viable explanations for the early-time cosmic inflation and the late-time cosmic acceleration, are in strong tension with string theory evidence and the associated de Sitter swampland constraints.
Jun 17, 2024 · In Why Does the World Exist?, Jim Holt interviews Andrei Linde about chaotic inflation, which I can’t pretend to understand enough even to summarize. But one of the most “curious implications” of Linde’s theory, Holt says, “is that it doesn’t take all that much to create a universe …

Jun 28, 2024 · 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.
Jun 12, 2024 · Participants also include Andrei Linde and Joseph Silk, who revolutionized cosmology through their studies on the first moments of the universe; Wendy Freedman, known for her groundbreaking ...
