Dr. Guth describes the theory of inflation and presents evidence that indicates our universe very likely underwent a perod of inflation in its early existence. He also discusses the surprising observation that the expansion of the universe is accelerating, offers possible explanations for this acceleration, and describes its impact on particle physics. In addition to receiving many distinguished academic awards, Guth has been called one of "The 25 Top American Innovators" by Newsweek and Science Digest has ranked him among the "100 Brightest Scientists Under 40."
