So, some heard about the important event in Science this week - discovery of Gravitation waves. Now we know for sure there was this Big Bang in the Beginning of everything. Andrei Linde, author of Inflation theory, for the first time hears about the theory proof and celebrates. A touching and sweet moment! Andrei Linde is a Russian-American theoretical physicist, the Harald Trap Friis Professor of Physics at Stanford University. Linde is one of the main authors of the inflationary universe theory, as well as the theory of eternal inflation and inflationary multiverse (1982). He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Moscow State University. In 1975, Linde was awarded a Ph.D. from the Lebedev Physical Institute in Moscow. He worked at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) since 1989 and moved to the USA in 1990 where he became Professor of Physics at Stanford University. Among the various awards hes received for his work on inflation, in 2002 he was awarded the Dirac Medal, along with Alan Guth of MIT and Paul Steinhardt of Princeton University. In 2004 he received, along with Alan Guth, the Gruber Cosmology Prize for the development of inflationary cosmology. Will there also be Nobel prize? Quite maybe.
