We came for something, something violent, something extraordinary.
Two possibilities:
1. Time non exist in the beginning.
2. 10 spatial dimensions + time
(BRANE) We have to be almost two branes. When they collide, remained extended. Plasma and matter. All is measured.

The discussion emphasizes that, even if the inflationary scale is far below the Planck mass, new physics is required to explain the initial quantum state of the universe.

Testing Predictions of the Quantum Landscape Multiverse 3: The Hilltop Inflationary Potential, present the Hilltop model, and the corrections introduced by the entanglement in the quantum landscape multiverse to the slow-rolling inflaton field and to the inflaton potential, showing as anomalies in the CMB spectrum.
Authors: Eleonora Di Valentino, Laura Mersini-Houghton
The quantum landscape multiverse describes the emergence of the universe from a wavefunction on the landscape before inflation, to a present-day classical universe. Other branches of the wavefunction, originating similarly to ours, are entangled with our universe. This quantum entanglement contributes as a second source a correction term in the gravitational potential of the universe, and it gives rise to modifications of the inflation potential and field evolution.
