Abstract: We employ holographic duality to compute $langle{T}_{muu}angle$ in strongly coupled $mathcalN=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and then study evolution of the semiclassical Einstein field equations sourced by $langle{T}_{muu}angle$. Linearizing about de Sitter space, we find that the semiclassical equations of motion reduce to a four dimensional scalar wave equation coupled to a five dimensional scalar wave equation. We compute the mode spectrum of these equations and find that there exists a critical value of the Hubble constant $H_c$ for which de Sitter space is unstable when $H<H_c$ and mode stable when $H>H_c$.
