Andrei Linde - Creation of Matter in The Universe

Creation of Matter in The Universe

According to the inflationary theory, all elementary particles in the universe emerged after the end of inflation, in a process called reheating. The first version of the theory of reheating, which is essentially the theory of creation of matter in the universe, was developed in 1982 by Dolgov and Linde, and also by Abbott, Farhi and Wise. In 1994, this theory was revised by Kofman, Linde and Starobinsky. They have shown that the process of creation of matter after inflation may be much more efficient due to the effect of parametric resonance.

Famous quotes containing the words creation of, creation, matter and/or universe:

    Creation of something out of nothing is the most primitive of human passions and the most optimistic.
    Christina Stead (1902–1983)

    Like everything which is not the involuntary result of fleeting emotion but the creation of time and will, any marriage, happy or unhappy, is infinitely more interesting than any romance, however passionate.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    If we are the younger, we may envy the older. If we are the older, we may feel that the younger is always being indulged. In other words, no matter what position we hold in family order of birth, we can prove beyond a doubt that we’re being gypped.
    Judith Viorst (20th century)

    The universe has no prince or king that it [Rome] would consider equal to its humblest citizen.
    Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
