Breakthrough behind the Edge of the World

The last few years can be considered a triumphal era of the eternal inflation theory which explains the origins of the Universe. This theory was introduced in the early 1980s at the level of ideas, models and scenarios which offered a number of clear verifiable predictions. Today many of these predictions have been confirmed thanks to the more accurate measurements of the cosmic microwave background, digital sky surveys and other observations. The book reflects the evolution of the main ideas of cosmology from the past hundred years.
