What is the Bubble Theory?

First Introduced by Andrei Linde

Our universe, along with several other universes formed from a parent universe.

Basic idea: One bubble creating a bunch of other foamy bubbles, that expand into universes.

These universes have their own physical laws, different from ours.

This theory also known as: Chaotic Inflation Theorywhich suggests that our universe is one of many inflationary universes that sprout

from an eternal cosmic tree, would generate a self-reproducing inflationary universe

How is it created?

• This variant of cosmic inflation proposes that the false vacuum is eternally inflating in exponential growth powered by repulsive constant random zero point dark energy of negative pressure

• The universe is in a false vacuum state

• False vacuum and true vacuum form a metastable system. True vacuum is the name applied to a condition of the true lowest energy state of the vacuum. False vacuum, on the other hand, refers to a condition with an elevated vacuum energy density. The two conditions are separated, of course, by some energy barrier -- which is why they form a metastable system.

• These Universes don’t have contact with one another.
