besides a model of cosmogenesis—the no-boundary hypothesis, for example—and a notion of evolution—Feynman’s idea of many possible histories in the landscape of string theory, for example—a key third element: observership.

That proof showed that general relativity is only an incomplete theory: it cannot tell us how the universe started off, because it predicts that all physical theories, including itself, break down at the beginning of the universe. However, general relativity claims to be only a partial theory, so what the singularity theorems really show is that th

the no-boundary wave function slightly spreads over an array of inflationary universes, each with a different inflaton starting value. A quantum universe, that is, isn’t just a single expanding space, but different possible expansion histories living in superposition,

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”
