TL;DR
This paper explores the implications of quantum cosmology suggesting a multiverse of universes with varying constants, focusing on inflation, structure formation, and the cosmological constant, assuming we are typical observers.
Contribution
It analyzes the consequences of the quantum cosmology framework under the assumption of typicality, highlighting specific cosmological features and their observational implications.
Findings
Inflation with an extremely flat potential and low thermalization temperature.
Structure formation driven by topological defects.
Presence of an appreciable cosmological constant.
Abstract
The world view suggested by quantum cosmology is that inflating universes with all possible values of the fundamental constants are spontaneously created out of nothing. I explore the consequences of the assumption that we are a `typical' civilization living in this metauniverse. The conclusions include inflation with an extremely flat potential and low thermalization temperature, structure formation by topological defects, and an appreciable cosmological constant.
