    Thanks. Notice that we have a stub Coleman-De Luccia instanton, maybe you could briefly cross-link with that.

    We also have a related page with more content once started by Olof Nebrin. But where was it, can’t find it right now…

    Oh, here it is: false vacuum eternal inflation. Maybe at least to add the cross-link under “Related concepts”

    added the cross-links as mentioned above

    slightly touched your text:

    After the first occurrence of “bubble of nothing” I have added “in the sense of Witten 82”, since I think the term is used more broadly elsewhere

    Then after the first “nothing” I added a colon, to make clear that the following sentence fills this mysterious word with more precise content.

    Also adjusted hyperlinking of keywords. For instance we have gravitational instanton (even if a stub, but hyperlinking to it can be a first step towards pushing it beyond stub-status)

    Finally, in the reference I hyperlinked the author name and put the hyperlinked DOI number in place of the string “ScienceDirect”, like so:

    Oops, maybe by taking too long to edit I had overwritten your edits?

    Okay, that can happen. Usually there is a lock, but it expires away after 30 minutes without submit, I guess.

    No big deal, I can re-instantiate the few edits I made. Let me know when you are done for good.

    I reimported the changes from the previous version (which I overwrote earlier).

    I must have left the editor open too long while I was reading. I will not edit this page again for today.
