I spent most of the seminar talking about the problems of the inflationary model, just as in Moscow, but at the end I mentioned Linde’s idea of slow symmetry breaking and my corrections to it. In the audience was a young assistant professor from the University of Pennsylvania, Paul Steinhardt. He talked to me afterward about inflation. The following February, he sent me a paper by himself and a student, Andreas Albrecht, in which they proposed something very similar to Linde’s idea of slow symmetry breaking. He later told me he didn’t remember me describing Linde’s ideas and he had seen Linde’s paper only when they had nearly finished their own. In the West, he and Albrecht are given joint credit with Linde for what is called “the new inflationary model,” based on the idea of a slow breaking of symmetry.21
