Abstract:
I will discuss the robust predictions of
the theory for the quantum origins of
structure in the Universe. At its
conception, 40 years ago, each of these
predictions were in conflict with
available astronomical data. However,
subsequent revolutionary developments in
precision measurements of
temperature fluctuations of the Cosmic
Microwave Background radiation,
made during last 30 years, have confirmed
these predictions beyond any
reasonable doubt. This confirmation, in
turn, allows us to draw firm conclusions
about the origin of our universe and the
role of quantum physics in explaining
the origin of galaxies and their clusters.
