1:24:14Problems of the Conventional (Non-inflationary) Hot Big Bang Model
After reviewing supernovae Ia and vacuum energy density, this lecture articulates the significant conceptual problems inherent in the conventional hot Big Bang model, setting up for inflation.
MIT 8.286 The Early Universe, Fall 2013
In this lecture, the professor first reviewed supernovae Ia and vacuum energy density, then talked about problems of the conventional (non-inflationary) hot big bang model.
