Big Bang and Inflation

In this brief note a physicist stipulates his doubts about the inflationary model as an add-on to the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe.

And what of the theorists who have been developing the inflationary theory for the last twenty-five years? Some, like me, have been in denial, harboring the hope that a way can be found to tame the quantum effects and restore the classical view. Others have embraced the idea that cosmology may be inherently unpredictable…

This doubt about the paradigm is a Big Deal.
