Too Smooth

The video discusses the impact of inflation on the universe, making it too smooth for structure formation. Quantum physics introduces energy fluctuations, posing challenges in understanding the universe's structure. Initial calculations with Michael Turner faced difficulties, but solutions were found through collaboration with John Bardeen, addressing issues in general relativity and fluctuations.

Discuss the implications of the statement that 'the universe is really nonuniform' in relation to mathematical coordinates.

Who collaborated with the speaker on the problem of fluctuations, and what was the nature of their collaboration?
