Gabriele VENEZIANO (Collège de France) :
BIG BANG OU BIG BOUNCE ?
15 octobre 2009
Résumé :
Le paradigme inflationnaire évite les difficultés de la cosmologie conventionnelle du Big Bang chaud avec des conséquences tout à fait remarquables. Une alternative, suggérée par la théorie des cordes, consiste à remplacer le Big Bang par un grand rebondissement, le “Big Bounce”. Les (des)avantages relatifs de ces deux scénarios seront discutés et comparés.
