Before the Big Bang 4 : Eternal Inflation & The Multiverse
Interviews with Alan Guth & other leading cosmologists going into far more depth than average tv show but still accessible to the interested layperson.
What happened before the big bang? In this series of films we explore competing models of the early universe, with this episode focusing on the dominant paradigm for early universe cosmology: inflation. The father of inflationary theory Alan Guth takes us on a tour of inflationary theory and explains why cosmologists find it so compelling and why it leads to a multiverse. Fellow theorists Anthony Aguirre and Yasunori Nomura help us explore more of the details of the theory and try to answer many of its challenges. George Efstathiou, one of the world’s leading observational cosmologists (who gave the press conference for the European Space Agency’s Planck cosmology results ) helps us assess the empirical status of the theory.
We cover such topics as what is the history and evidence for inflation? how does it lead to a multiverse? Is there empirical evidence for a multiverse? How did the arrow of time form? What is the future for cosmology? What about the supposed problems of inflation, such as unlikely initial conditions, speculative physics, Boltzman brains and the measure problem? Can eternal inflation be past as well as future eternal? Did the universe have an absolute beginning or has it always existed? Whats the connection between the multiverse and black holes? What is the connection between the quantum many worlds and the cosmological multiverse?
PLEASE NOTE: All the scientists in this film viewed a draft and approved it before we released it to youtube.
