Sergio Martin describes the evolution of the Universe.
The Secrets of Mathematics

Roger Penrose in conversation with Hannah Fry - Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures

In our Oxford Mathematics London Public Lecture Roger Penrose in conversation with Hannah Fry reveals his latest research, a veritable chain reaction of universes, which he says has been backed by evidence of events that took place before the Big Bang.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Stability and Probability

Erik Curiel and Simon Friederich discuss how reasoning in cosmology sometimes conflates topological stability with probability, and why that might be wrong.

From Materials to Cosmology: Studying the early universe under the microscope

Physics Colloquium 27 January 2017 delivered by Professor Nicola Spaldin, ETH Zurich
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

The New Era in Observational Cosmology

In the fourth part of their discussion, Pedro Ferreira and Jerome Martin conjecture about the future of inflation. They talk about the potential for new evidence for and against the theory, and the variety of new probes into our cosmological environment.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

When is a theory good enough?

In the third part of their discussion, Pedro Ferreira and Jerome Martin talk about whether one should look for a deeper physical theory when one’s current theory is well-supported by observation.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Can we measure naturalness?

In the second part of their discussion, Pedro Ferreira and Jerome Martin consider ways to build the naturalness of an inflationary model into our expectations for observing it.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

An Encyclopedia of Inflation

In the first part of their discussion, Pedro Ferreira and Jerome Martin talk about the variety of inflationary models. They discuss methods for distinguishing between them based on evidence and describe the application of Bayesian statistics to inflation.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Inflation in the Future

What should we expect to learn in the future? In the fourth part of their chat, Dave Sloan and Robert Brandenberger talk about how we expect inflationary theory to develop, and how observations may lead to new physics in this area.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Strings, Inflation, and Alternatives

In the third part of their discussion, Dave Sloan and Robert Brandenberger explain the relationship between string theory and inflationary models. Can inflation arise from particle physics, or do we need to look for alternative models?
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Inflation Predicts

In the second part of their discussion, Dave Sloan and Robert Brandenberger tell us what inflation predicts and whether inflation itself seems fine-tuned. This discussion was conducted at the University of Oxford on March 14, 2017.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Panel on Inflation

Professor Joe Silk talks with Professor Robert Brandenberger, Professor Jerome Martin, and Dr. Dave Sloan about the current state of research and controversies surrounding inflation.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Does Inflationary Cosmology Solve Fine-Tuning Problems?

Professor Robert Brandenberger (McGill) argues that inflationary models still face considerable challenges.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Inflationary Attractors

Dr David Sloan (Oxford) discusses the for inflation to occur given typical initial conditions. He argues that, on the right understanding of the background dynamics of the universe, inflationary conditions dominate.
