Perhaps, in another universe, another you is wondering if Antonov’s multiverse theory is true.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hardly. I would be too busy chasing Dark Women and drinking Dark Beer.
“A small piece of the space that emerged from inflation went on to form our universe, while other pieces were stretched into newly formed universes”
And just our luck our universe is populated by insane people.
The multiverse is the only possibility, if you’re determined to have a universe that is absent the Creator.
If you’re going to talk about other universes, dictionaries gonna have to change their definition of the word “universe”, which is now defined as, everything, known and unknown.
Only one “everything”.
OK...gonna a need another cup of coffee and a re-read, I think.
But, the multiverse notion does help to explain SloJo and the Ho. They can’t be from this corner of the space time continuum.
This is the first I’ve heard that inflation carried atoms. If inflation took 10^-32 seconds but separated atoms by trillions of miles, then wouldn’t the speed of light have been exceeded by all those atoms?
The Universe is defined as all there is, was or ever will be. (Carl Sagan. But he called it the Cosmos). So there is one Universe. (Uni = one). Naming things “multiverse” doesn’t change that.
What was once good science fiction is now called science.
“Worlds Utterly Unlike Anything We Can Imagine”
We’ve already got a world like that now.
A wheel inside a wheel, perhaps?
“...Inflation left them in entirely different universes...”
THAT is something we can grasp, for sue!!
But does it also mean that all other universes are populated with bone head Liberals, TOO?
Cf: “The Xeelee” by Stephen Baxter.
I paraphrase Julian Huxley (Aldous’s grandfather) when he said,
“The universe is not only stranger than we suppose but stranger than we can suppose “
“Objects separated by the width of an atom at the beginning of inflation,” notes Dan Hooper, Senior Scientist and the Head of the Theoretical Astrophysics Group at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, in At the Edge of Time, “were trillions of miles apart from one another by the time it was over—only a minuscule fraction of a second later.”
The fundamental force everywhere known is accretion. Gravitational attraction.
The first application is our moon circling earth. Then there is our solar system with planets and moons and uncountable asteroids in gravitational order with our star, the sun. Then there is the Milky Way Galaxy that is the matter including our sun gravitationally attracted by by our own unseen black hole. I do not know what attracts our galaxy but it is out there along with uncountble and unfathomable numbers of others in our universe. Some say that all the matter is flowing outward from an unknown and un seen source, propellled by a huge antigravitational force.
But what if our universe is a body in its self some how just one of many different universes that are subject to accretion and gravity?
“It’s hard to build models of inflation that don’t lead to a multiverse,”
Not impossible to build a model that doesn’t lead to multiverse.
The entire universe, multiverse, both seen and unseen are an illusion of the ego. But it is always fun to read another’s fantasies.

Ah yes....more research needs to be done on the idea he came up with....show me the money!!
Where did the material for the “big bang” come from?
