I published an independent speculative cosmology preprint exploring the possibility that dark energy could emerge from residual metastable vacuum modes deposited in a higher-dimensional bulk during bubble collisions in eternal inflation scenarios.

The framework combines:

• Eternal inflation
• Braneworld cosmology
• Vacuum metastability
• Higher-dimensional bulk physics

This is not presented as a proven theory, but as a conceptual theoretical framework intended for discussion and criticism.

I’d genuinely appreciate technical feedback, criticism, or suggestions from people more experienced in cosmology and theoretical physics.
