Who Might Get the Nobel Prize for Cosmic Inflation?
Abstract
So who do you think would be the right recipients for any Nobel Prize that might be awarded for inflation assuming the BICEP2 results hold up? In my opinion, the destination of the theory component of the prize is not yet determined even if the experimental discovery is confirmed and will depend on work that is still to come. Otherwise, I would expect it to go to Guth, Linde and Starobinsky as indicated by the poll I have been conducting.
