We present an interpretation of the physics of space-times undergoing eternal inflation by repeated nucleation of bubbles. In many cases the physics can be interpreted in terms of the quantum mechanics of a system with a finite number of states. If this interpretation is correct, the conventional picture of these space-times is misleading.

So far, I have argued that all truths are scrutable from a base involving a highly constrained class of expressions. We started with the base PQT I of microphysical, phenomenal, and indexical truths along with a “that’s-all” truth. In chapters 3, 4, and 6 I argued that all truths may well be a priori scrutable from such a base (perhaps with mild expansions, depending on one’s views). In chapter...

BACKGROUND We estimated the chronic rejection of kidney transplant using an eternal Weibull regression. METHODS In this historical cohort study, we enrolled all patients with chronic renal failure who were admitted to Shahid Labbafinejad medical center (Tehran, Iran) from 1984 to 2003. Using Matlab 7.0, we considered the eternal proportion theta, as a logistic-type function of the covariates ...
