Curing with hemlock: escaping the swampland using instabilities from string theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2022-01-11 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

In this essay we will take a wonderful ride on a dark bubble with strings attached, which carries our universe out of the swampland and makes it realizable in the landscape of string theory. To find the way to the landscape, we make use of apparently hostile corners of the swampland and their instabilities.
