Inflation is dead; long live inflation: how an underdense universe doesn/t sink cosmic inflation
Article Abstract:
Theoretical cosmologists are busy preparing new theories to account for the findings of observational cosmologists that the matter content of the universe is less than that predicted by the inflation theory, which also contradicts the supposed curved nature of the universe, since the amount of matter makes the universe flat.

Inflation in a low-density universe
Article Abstract:
Current findings in cosmology indicate that the universe has less matter than previously considered. The theory of inflation, as a result, predicts that the universe's expansion is accelerating. The propositions of the theory will be verified by the Microwave Anisotropy Probe.
