Abstract
The technical problems involved in implementing the inflationary scenario have prompted us to search for different solutions to the horizon and flatness problems. We find that Brans-Dicke cosmology can, under certain circumstances, solve the horizon problem, albeit at the expense of some fine tuning of parameters.Keywords
