A Lab Experiment Gone Awry?

The universe, is it a product of evolution, or creation?  Could the universe have been cooked up, in a lab?  Andrei Linde thinks it’s possible, a lab created universe that is, and it is an experiment that could, possibly, be replicated today.

"It doesn’t take all that much to create a universe. Resources on a cosmic scale are not required. It might even be possible for someone in a not terribly advanced civilization to cook up a new universe in a laboratory. Which leads to an arresting thought: Could that be how our universe came into being?"

Linde’s theory is termed “cosmic inflation.”

Now, where is that chemistry set?

“The Big Lab Experiment."
