Give the limited and indirect observational basis of cosmology,
it is essential that theorists range broadly in their search for
interpretations and for crucial observational and experimental
tests.Fortunately,the field is sufficiently exciting to
attract excellent theorists in graduate school and from other
areas of physics and astronomy. It is impossible to anticipate
where theory might go in the near future, but we briefly mention
a few of the current promissing ideas.On the particle-physics
side ,the successful quantization of gravity seems esssential
for penetrating the mysterious Plank era.Perhaps only then will
physics be able to adress the question of intial conditions.Currently
quantum gravity enjoys great popularity among gravition, particle,
and cosmological theorists.There has recently been much study of
universes with more than four dimensions,motived in part by
supergravity theories,which attempt to unify gravity with the
only three forces.(See the discussion under quantum gravity in
chapter 8.)An intriguing possibility is that these theories might
lead to an understanding of the oringin of space-time itself. another
difficult task is to develop the theory and consequences of
time_dependent transion that may cause inflation needs to be
better understood. On the atrophysical side,one attempts to
understand the structure of the universe as it is now and to
infer from that what it must have been like in the past. Essential
to such a progran are detailed studies of the complicated processes
ocurring during the nonlinear development of a multicomponent system
of radition and one or more dark matter candidates.The processes
must be understood from the present back to a time before the
radition decoupled from the matter.Such studies may invoke a wide
variety of possible scenarios,but they must mesh with a rich
texture of observations.In many cases extensive numerical computing
is esssential,and here a barrier toprogress is the somewhat irregular
and informal coupling of theorists to the fontiers of progress in
computing technology.We also expect analytic methods to continue to
provide new ideas and inportant guidance for observers.Finally,we
must bear in mind that the search for viable alternative cosmological
models should continue.As an exemple,cold big-bang models in which
the microwave background was produced by stars andthermalized by
dust at an early epoch cannot be dismissed.
