- Are the values of the universal constants statistically independent of the initial conditions of a bubble universe?
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 how the values of the universal constants are set, would it be:
1) Like a slot machine, where the slot machine is first built and then the values are set randomly afterwards.
or 2) like a bingo drum, where each ball represents a universe with different values for the constants and each one is drawn randomly?
Hopefully this makes sense to someone.
