dc.descriptionRecent advances in observational cosmology are changing the way we view the nature of time. In general relativity, the freedom in choosing a time hypersurface has hampered the implementation of the theory. Fortunately, Hamilton-Jacobi theory enables one to describe all time hypersurfaces on an equal footing. Using an expansion in powers of the spatial curvature, one may solve for the wavefunctional in a semiclassical approximation. In this way, one may readily compare predictions of various inflation models with observations of microwave background anisotropies and galaxy clustering.
