String theory supports an enormous landscape of metastable vacua.
“Indeed this view of cosmology is supported by the present understanding of string theory, which argues for the existence of an enormous landscape of such metastable vacua [5,6,7,8].”
From Observable effects of anisotropic bubble nucleation (2010) · cites this paper as [7]
The General introduction says string/M theory appears to describe a very large number of vacua. Section 3.6, however, says metastability still needs to be checked for a vacuum with the appropriate cosmological constant, although it expects that constraint to be mild. The paper therefore supports an enormous multiplicity of vacua, but does not establish that an enormous number are metastable. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
