An article on Live Science about the birth of the universe reports three UB physicists have analyzed the latest measurements offering a hint at what went on in the early universe and found that only three kinds of theories are possible, including inflation. The article quotes Will Kinney, associate professor of physics, who said, "The takeaway result here is that this idea of inflation turns out to be the only way to do it within the context of standard physics." Articles also appeared on Softpedia and Universe Today.
