Cosmology 249in string theory which will support the data from Planck and other sets of future
observations.
If the inflationary models are derived in string theory by reliable methods and0 If the models have unambiguous prediction for observables
When the precision data will come in we will be able to test the string the-
ory assumptions underlying the derivation of the corresponding “best fit data”
inflationary models.assumptions stated clearlyNew cosmological data will be coming during the next 10-20 years “fast and
furious”!
