Explore a high-energy theory seminar where Guilherme Pimentel from Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa discusses the theory of initial conditions of the universe and recent developments in primordial cosmology. The presentation begins with a comprehensive overview of current knowledge about the universe's initial conditions and near-future research prospects. Pimentel then delves into recent work on bootstrap approaches for precision calculations in primordial cosmology, focusing on static differential equations in terms of boundary momenta at the reheating surface as alternatives to time-evolution integrals. Learn about the discovery of an autonomous structure in a cosmological toy model that suggests time evolution may be an emergent property. The seminar covers the fundamental rules of "kinematic flow" and introduces ongoing research to further develop this concept, offering insights into how time might emerge from underlying physical principles.
