Caption: Alan Guth (1947--) at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom, 2007, December.
Alexei Starobinsky (1948--) of Russia and Alan Guth (1947--) of the US were the first developers/proposers of the inflation cosmology in the period 1979--1980 (see Wikipedia: Inflation cosmology: Early inflationary models).
If I recall correctly, I was in the same room with Guth for a colloquium at MIT sometime in the interval 1991--1993.
