Alan Guth facts
- Guth has researched elementary particle theory (and how particle theory is applicable to the early universe)
- He is currently serving as Victor Weisskopf Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Along with Alexei Starobinsky and Andrei Linde, he won the 2014 Kavli Prize “for pioneering the theory of cosmic inflation
- ”nHe graduated from MIT in 1968 in physics and stayed to receive a master's and a doctorate, also in physics
- As a junior particle physicist, Guth developed the idea of cosmic inflation in 1979 at Cornell and gave his first seminar on the subject in January 1980
- Moving on to Stanford University Guth formally proposed the idea of cosmic inflation in 1981, the idea that the nascent universe passed through a phase of exponential expansion that was driven by a positive vacuum energy density (negative vacuum pressure)
- The results of the WMAP mission in 2006 made the case for cosmic inflation very compelling
