So a week and a half ago, I saw this story on the Beeb, and was struck by the implications. Here's one of the munny quotes...
Dr Adrienne Erickcek, from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and colleagues now believe these fluctuations contain hints that our Universe "bubbled off" from a previous one.
(...)
Their model suggests that new universes could be created spontaneously from apparently empty space. From inside the parent universe, the event would be surprisingly unspectacular.
The problem was, I couldn't quite get my head around what this all ment...so I just dropped it. However, Warren Ellis has a nice take on it.
