On the cosmological singularity

Abstract

The long story of the oscillatory approach to the initial cosmological singularity and its more recent incarnation in multidimensional universe models is told.

The invited paper for Proceedings of the XIII Marcel Grossmann Meeting (Stockholm, 2012) by reason of the Marcel Grossmann Award to V.A. Belinski and I.M. Khalatnikov
