_____________ is a theoretical physicist and cosmologist, known mainly for his work on elementary particle theory and how particle theory is applicable to the early universe, and particularly for the idea, which he developed around 1980, of cosmic inflation and the inflationary universe, the idea that the nascent universe passed through a phase of exponential expansion soon after the Big Bang, driven by a positive vacuum energy density.
