Inflationary Multiverse: Self-Reproducing Cosmos appears as an extended branching of inflationary bubbles. Changes in color represent “mutations” in the laws of physics from parent universes. The properties of space in each bubble do not depend on the time when the bubble formed. In this sense, the universe as a whole may be stationary, even though the interior of each bubble is described by the big bang theory.

I`ve been reading Philip Pullman`s His Dark Materials Trilogy and this diagram caught my eye. The books are based on the premise that parallel worlds exist, and all it takes is a window to get from one world to another. The books also attack the Abrahamic God and church as an institution, making them the perfect antithesis to the Chronicles of Narnia. Check them out!|
