<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Guth's long-awaited account is remarkable both for its clear explanation of the nearly inconceivable and for the personal sense Guth conveys of what it felt like to do theoretical physics during the 1970s and 1980s".--"Scientific American". Photos & diagrams.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This is the compelling, first-hand account of Alan Guth's paradigm-breaking discovery of the origins of the universe--and of his dramatic rise from young researcher to physics superstar. Guth's startling theory--widely regarded as one of the most important contributions to science during the twentieth century--states that the big bang was set into motion by a period of hyper-rapid "inflation," lasting only a billion-trillion-billionth of a second. <i>The Inflationary Universe</i> is the passionate story of one leading scientist's effort to look behind the cosmic veil and explain how the universe began.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Alan Guth</b> is V. F. Weisskopf Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In addition to being elected to the National Academy of Sciences and receiving many other academic awards, <i>Newsweek</i> has called him one of "The Top 25 American Innovators," and <i>Science Digest</i> has ranked him among the "100 Brightest Scientists Under 40."
