Who knows, perhaps the next theory of the origin of the universe will come from the field of economics. A lot of modern astronomy is just number-crunching anyway. :)
Who knows, perhaps the next theory of the origin of the universe will come from the field of economics. Let's hope not...As the economist joke (applied to this situation) goes, "Assume a ball of matter with infinite mass...."
Also, the current recession was caused by deflation, not inflation. If that applies to the universe, I guess we're screwed...
