Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2008    - What banged?

 

Dr. Neil Turok, a world-renowned scientist, examines the conventional view that the universe somehow burst into existence full of  "inflationary" energy and contrasts that with the new view in which "the bang" is a far more normal event, which occurred in a pre-existing universe. Dr. Turok was recently appointed Executive Director of the Perimeter Institute, effective Oct. 1. Professor Stephen Hawking, the internationally acclaimed scientist at the University of Cambridge and a close colleague of Dr. Turok, says, "he has been a colleague of mine for number of years and I have been very impressed by his insight and originality.  The combination of Neil and PI is brilliant and holds great promise for the future"
