The Borde-Guth-Vilenkin singularity theorem (or BGV theorem) was developed in 2003 by three leading cosmologists; Arvind Borde, Alan Guth and Alex Vilenkin. | The Borde-Guth-Vilenkin singularity theorem (or BGV theorem) was developed in 2003 by three leading cosmologists; Arvind Borde, Alan Guth and Alex Vilenkin. Subsequently in recent years since, the BGV theorem has become widely respected and accepted within the [[physics]] community.<ref name="wlcnt">William Lane Craig and J. P. Moreland, ''The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology'' (Blackwell Publishing 2009), pg. 142</ref> According to ''Inflationary spacetimes are not past-complete'', the 2003 paper outlining the BGV theorem a space-time boundary is highlighted at the inflation event. The chief finding though was that inflation alone is not enough to explain the universe, there needs to be a whole new physics to explain "correct conditions at the boundary".<ref>Arvind Borde, Alan Guth and Alex Vilenkin, ''Inflationary spacetimes are not past-complete'' (2003)</ref> | ||
