Does Inflationary Cosmology Solve Fine-Tuning Problems?

Update: 2017-04-04

Description

Professor Robert Brandenberger (McGill) argues that inflationary models still face considerable challenges. He discusses the relationship between inflationary models and particle physics, including string theory and examines alternatives to standard inflationary models. This lecture was conducted at the Dennis Sciama Theatre at the Denys Wilkinson Building, Oxford, on March 14, 2016.
