It’s hard to build models of inflation that don't lead to a multiverse. It’s not impossible, so I think there’s still certainly research that needs to be done. But most models of inflation do lead to a multiverse, and evidence for inflation will be pushing us in the direction of taking [the idea of a] multiverse seriously. Alan Guth
About This Quote

Inflation theory is a theory for the origin of the universe. It is an idea that the universe came into existence from nothing, and it is a process that turns empty space into something. Inflation theory was originally proposed by Andrei Linde in the early 1980's and was supported by Nobel Prize winner Alan Guth.The theory states that every point in the universe was once a bubble of inflation, and these bubbles grew into big bubbles that became galaxies, stars and planets.
