===== 1. Multiverse Theories and Cosmic Evolution: - Eternal Inflation and String Theory Landscape: These theories propose the existence of multiple universes with varying physical laws and constants. Your idea aligns with this by suggesting that different universes could have inherited or evolved different laws. - Cyclic Models: The idea of a parent and descendant universes is similar to cyclic cosmology models like the Ekpyrotic model and Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC), where the universe undergoes continuous cycles of big bangs and recontractions. =====
# Anthropic Principle: - This principle, which suggests that we observe the universe with properties conducive to life because we are here to observe it, is in line with your idea that only universes with the right "codes" support complex structures and observers.
# Cosmic Natural Selection: - The idea of cosmic evolution, where universes with favorable conditions "survive" and give rise to new universes, is akin to the concept of cosmic natural selection. Lee Smolin's theory of Cosmological Natural Selection proposes that universes might evolve to maximize the production of black holes, which could be a mechanism for new universes.
