In this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_vacuum#Bubble_nucleation it says that "In the theoretical physics of the false vacuum, the system moves to a lower energy state – either the true vacuum, or another, lower energy vacuum – through a process known as bubble nucleation." What is nucleation and what does mean a nucleated bubble? This thread is focused in inflationary cosmology, in the escenario of the universe after a Big Freeze and how quantum tunneling leads a false vacuum to become a new "Big Bang".
