Are you familiar with any papers which do reference the BGV theorem and do discuss eternal inflation models?

That's why I was asking for a recommendation. I was thinking it would be more efficient *if* someone had a paper or papers they could recommend (regardless of level of difficulty). Thank you though, I'll go back and look for a few and post them. That you are not familiar with it by name is a...

I've started with LLMs for explanations with references, then searched those references on google. On the basis of those explanations, I've searched iterations of various terms like "bubble nucleation", "slow roll inflation", "e-folding cosmology", "parent false vacuum", "true vacuum", "local...

Do any such papers exist?

I would like to try and get a better understanding of the process of how "bubble" universes are formed in the context of eternal inflationary cosmology and the string theory landscape. If anyone could recommend a paper (or papers) they feel is a good representation of this, it would be greatly...

German Biologist and Philosopher of Science, Martin Mahner, refers to “the ex-nihilo-nihil-fit principle” – the idea things can’t simply “pop out of or into nothing” (Mahner, 2016). Every theory will, I believe, have to rely on certain brute facts which themselves are not reducible to other...

Apologies, let me try that again. I posted it just before going to bed so perhaps didn't articulate it in the best possible way. Admittedly, I don't have a deep understanding of all the concepts referenced below, but hopefully it makes a bit more sense. In the context of eternal inflation...

I'm trying to get a somewhat better understanding of the implications of String Theory, eternal inflation, and the multiverse (from a layman's perspective). I was wondering, which of the following analogies (if either ) would be more suitable for describing how bubble universes are formed and...

Thanks jedishrfu. Have you come across anything in any paper or even interview which outlines it like that. My reason for fact checking myself is that it came up in a discussion and I was trying to find a reference for my outline of FT.

Cheers Frabjous.

Yep, that's the deeper question. Have you seen a reliable source for that definition of fine tuning, or where it is used in a paper?

This isn't intended to be a discussion of the philosophical "fine tuning argument", rather, I'm hoping to fact check myself as to what is meant by "fine tuning" in physics. My understanding was that fine-tuning is the process in which parameters of a model must be adjusted very precisely in...

The studies weren't rated as poor because they weren't RCTs, there were other methodological flaws which got them the "very low" quality rating, issues such as lack of long term follow up. Despite not being RCTs, they could still have been rated as "moderate" quality, or even just "low...

It is in the genre of philosophy but deals with naturalism in the context of fine tuning, with reference to the multiverse hypothesis. It's more the structure that I think might need work or "filler" in terms of context, I'm just not sure what I would need to add to bring it to a publishable...

Are academic ghost writers a thing? I've written a paper on the fine tuning argument, defending naturalism and while the arguments are sound (I would say that) it's not really up to a publishable standard. I worked with an editor but he really only did some copy editing, so I was wondering if...
