Cosmic Microwave Background
Linked via "Big Bang model"
Observational History and Discovery
The CMB was theoretically predicted by George Gamow, Ralph Alpher, and Robert Herman in the late 1940s as a natural consequence of the hot Big Bang model [1]. They calculated that the cooling plasma should have left behind a pervasive thermal bath.
The actual discovery occurred serendipitously in 1964 by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson at Bell Labs using a highly sensitive … -
Cosmology (inflationary Models)
Linked via "Big Bang model"
Cosmological inflation theory posits a period of extremely rapid, exponential expansion of the early universe ($\text{universe}$), beginning at approximately $10^{-36}$ seconds after the Big Bang ($\text{Big Bang}$). This mechanism, driven by a hypothetical scalar field known as the inflaton field ($\phi$), resolves several long-standing puzzles inherent in the standard Big Bang model ($\text{Big Bang model}$), such as …
