The Question
(Submitted February 02, 1997)
I have studied a lot about the inflation theory (for example Allan Guth
and others). Could you tell me where I can find the newest info on that
subject?
The Answer
For an overview of inflation without equations, a good site is:
http://epunix.biols.susx.ac.uk/Home/John_Gribbin/cosmo.htm
This page is by John Gribbin, who is an excellent science writer in my opinion.
NASA's Microwave Anisotropy Probe (http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/html/inflation.html) (MAP) page may also be helpful. For more in depth information with diagrams and basic formulas, try UCLA Prof. Ned Devine's inflation/cosmology (http://www.astro.ucla.edu/%7Ewright/cosmo_04.htm) tutorial.
You could also try the book "The Inflationary Universe:
The Quest for a New Theory of Cosmic Origins" written by Alan Guth and
published by Addison-Wesley.
