Residual Bulk Vacuum Energy from Bubble Collisions in Eternal Inflation

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: This work proposes a speculative cosmological framework in which dark energy emerges from residual metastable vacuum modes deposited in a higher-dimensional bulk during bubble collisions in eternal inflation scenarios. The framework connects braneworld cosmology, vacuum metastability, and higher-dimensional inflationary remnants into a unified conceptual model. A secondary speculative section discusses antimatter asymmetry and CP-violating vacuum selection in extra dimensions.
