An interview with Andrei Linde, Harold Trap Friis Professor of Physics at Stanford, about the development of modern cosmology and the interplay between theory and observations in answering some of the open questions about our Universe.
Discussing the unique physics opportunities offered by heavy-ion runs beyond Run-4 including lead ions but also the use of alternative lighter ion beams.-
