Michael S. Turner

Michael S. Turner is a prominent American cosmologist and astrophysicist known for his contributions to our understanding of the universe. His research focuses on the early universe, dark matter, and dark energy, which are crucial for explaining cosmic expansion and the universe's structure. He has also played a significant role in advancing scientific collaborations and public understanding of science. Turner was a key figure in the development of the theory of cosmic inflation, which proposes a rapid expansion of the universe shortly after the Big Bang, helping to explain its uniformity and large-scale structure today.
