Cosmic Question: Will
Universe Crunch? Split?
They
say academic arguments are so vicious because the stakes are
so low, but Andrei Linde and Paul Steinhardt are arguing about
something huge, something truly cosmic: the fate of the universe.
Linde and Steinhardt are two of the premier cosmologists of
America and, as far as we know, of this sector of the Milky
Way galaxy. They study the origin, structure and destiny of
the universe, all the classic 3-in-the-morning dorm-room questions
that threaten to blow your mind. How big is the universe?
Is it infinite or finite, and if it's finite, where's the
edge? How did it begin? What will happen to it? Why does anything
exist at all? Full
story.
