Dr. Andrei Linde was educated at Moscow State University and the Lebedev Physical Institute. He has been at the forefront of the theoretical research in physics for nearly two decades. It has a recipient of the Lomonosov award of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and was a Morris Loeb Lecturer in Physics at Harvard University. Currently he is a Professor of Physics at Lebedev Physical Institute and a staff member of CERN, Geneva. Translated from Russian by Marc Damashek.
