Bubble universe. Conceptual computer artwork of one of many universes formed from the same Big Bang event. 'Big Bang' describes the expansion (inflation) of all matter from an infinitely compact state at the birth of the universe some billion years ago. The inflation theory proposes that during the event, conditions known as a false vacuum produced a rapid expansion at faster than the speed of light. In this, areas of inflation formed 'bubbles' of matter that are completely isolated from each other and evolve independently in parallel to each other.
