Epic Expansion: The Case for Inflationary Cosmology

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.

Alan Guth
Andrei Linde
