A Measure of de Sitter entropy and eternal inflation
, 2007 We show that in any model of non-eternal inflation satisfying the null energy condition, the area of the de Sitter horizon increases by at least one Planck unit in each inflationary e-folding.

Can backreaction prevent eternal inflation?
, 2015 We study the effects exerted by the backreaction of long-wavelength fluctuations on stochastic inflation. In the cases of power-law and Starobinsky inflation, these effects are too weak to terminate the stochastic growth of the inflaton field.

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 55, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT Anatomical preservation is essential for teaching and research; however, conventional formaldehyde‐based techniques present limitations due to toxicity, volatility and environmental impact. Plastination provides excellent morphological quality, but its high cost, reliance on flammable solvents and requirement for specialized equipment limit ...

, 2012 As a result of discussions with Bousso and Vilenkin I want to return to the question of whether the multiverse is past-eternal or if there was a beginning. Not surprisingly, given three people, there were three answers. However, the discussions have led to some common ground.
