The chaotic inflation theory of Andrei Linde wired.com Wired: Would you be able to communicate? To send information to and from that universe you helped create? Linde: It is not so easy to send information inside. Say I wrote a message on the surface of an inflationary universe. But then the letters expand so much that for billions of years to come, each race of people in the universe will be living in the corner of just one letter. They will never see the message. The only way I have found to send information is strange and unusual. If I create an inflationary universe with a small density, I can prepare the universe in a particular state that corresponds to different laws of physics, masses of particles, interactions, etc. I can imagine a binary code describing all possible laws of physics; this would be quite a long sequence. So, if I am preparing a universe in some peculiar state, I can send the message encoded in the laws of physics. Wouldyoubelieve... Agent-physicist-hackerLinde vs. CHAOS
