Baby Universes from Domain Wall Networks in Gravitational Wave Cosmology

Watch a 44-minute lecture from the "Hearing Beyond the Standard Model with Cosmic Sources of Gravitational Waves" program exploring how domain wall networks can give rise to baby universes. Delve into advanced theoretical physics concepts as presented at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, examining the intersection of gravitational waves, cosmological phenomena, and physics beyond the Standard Model. Learn about the formation and evolution of domain walls as topological defects, their role in producing gravitational waves, and how these structures might contribute to the creation of baby universes. Gain insights into cutting-edge research connecting particle physics, cosmology, and gravitational wave astronomy, presented as part of a broader program investigating various sources of stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds and their implications for fundamental physics.
