The bubbling universe

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The scenario of an expanding universe envisioned in the early part of the 20th century has been replaced by one where we live in a chaotic, eternally bubbling universe. Every bubble has the potential for developing into a new habitable universe. In this essay I describe how large-scale quantum effects could be driving the chaotic bubbling universe.
