    within each bubble universe‚ there are infinitely many light cones‚ also called Hubble volumes. “A generic prediction of cosmological inflation is an infinite ‘ergodic’ space‚ which contains Hubble volumes realizing all initial conditions—including an identical copy of you about 1010^29m away‚”[v] says Max Tegmark‚ a professor of math/physics at MIT. Due to quantum fluctuations during the Big Bang‚ all of the Hubble volumes
