Linde calls this theory eternal, self-reproducing inflation, or “chaotic inflation,” because he envisions a never-ending process of continual inflation of parallel universes. “Inflation pretty much forces the idea of multiple universes upon us,” declares Alan Guth, who first proposed the inflation theory.
Fascinating. In spite of the fact that its origin can't be explained and we can't observe it working, we can declare what it means with 100% certainty.
