A swirling, glowing mass of gas in outer space

Endless Universe: Beyond the Big Bang

with Paul Steinhardt | Physicist | Professor of Physics, Princeton University

Paul Steinhardt, one of the biggest critics of the inflationary model, tells the other side of the inflation story. He claims that inflation is “immune” to experiment–that it allows for all possible outcomes and is unfalsifiable–and discusses a radical alternative to this long-standing paradigm.‎
