In fact, any particle in eternal inflation will eventually terminate in a phase with exactly zero or negative cosmological constant.

The romantics may have outdone themselves with their eternal inflation and a multiverse instead of a universe.

It can be likened to what cosmologists call "eternal inflation," the infinite bubbling potential from which they believe the universe arose before the Big Bang.

According to eternal inflation, there is not just one universe but many different universes," he said, "with different laws of physics operating in each of them.

Inflation from the global point of view is often called eternal inflation.

All models of eternal inflation produce an infinite multiverse, typically a fractal.

This steady state, which first developed by Vilenkin, is called "eternal inflation".

This has been realized in the context of eternal inflation.

Regions of the universe that are in such a phase will inflate exponentially rapidly in a process known as eternal inflation.
