I read an interesting article in the Jan/Feb issue of Science84 and would like additional information. The article in question covered Alan Guth's new "inflationary" model of the universe. It is supposedly superior to the Big Bang theory because it explains the origin of matter and energy in the universe. I want to know if anyone is familiar with this new theory, and if so, is there any additional data to support/oppose it. I am not an expert in cosmology, but I do have a keen interest in this area. I figured there are numerous people on this newsgroup who could provide me with valid information about this theory. Any help is greatly appreciated. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!! Also, I was wondering what Stephen Hawking is up to these days. I admire the abilities of this individual and thought I'd see if anybody could provide more details. He posses a mind of superior quality and insight. His work on Black Holes is incredible. PEACE & BEST WISHES From the ever curious mind of: Steve (Black Holes Are Out Of Sight) Aldrich IHNP4!IHUXJ!AMRA p.s. Either post replies to this newsgroup or send me mail. Thanks Again for your information.
