Is this a reference to the money kind of inflation? 172.70.131.6 16:03, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

I do think it a form of irony that when I hear "inflation" I do *NOT* think about bubbles or balloons. 20:08, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

I think this comic might be referencing the eternal inflation model: as the universe eternally inflates at an exponential rate, bubbles form where the inflation slows down, creating a disjoint multiverse from these bubbles being unable to interact with each other. In this comic, the process is shown as recursive. LegionMammal978 (talk) 16:42, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

I'm included to agree. Should the article be changed? 20:08, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

This comic would be perfect motive for a mug. Fabian42 (talk) 19:04, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Though I think you mean "motif", although I also agree in principle with your word as well, if it does motivate someone to create one... ;) 172.70.162.77 20:33, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

I don't think this comic references the big bounce, but rather the theory of nested universes. The way it works is each black hole spawns a new universe, and is connected to a white hold in the new universe. If true, our universe came from another universe capable of producing black holes, and since our universe has black holes in it, according to the theory it has in turn created additional universes, each with the potential capability to produce its own black holes and therefore create additional universes. It's kind of like universe propagation.

As a cosmologist, it most certainly does not! Cosmic inflation took less than 10^-32 seconds involving superluminal expansion of points starting the width of a quark from each other. Any physical gas inflating of a membrane is simply not comparable, and if this is a joke about [1] then it's not funny. I would die on this hill if I had time to argue with you all about this. 172.70.211.146 21:52, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
