Guth done this in the 80's. Continuous Inflation accepts that our
bubble Universe may be one of an infinite number of similar
inflationary bubbles sperated by domain walls and monopoles. 

If correct, it may be, the infinite nature of these things implies
their effect cancels out. Or, what we see is not due to a infinite
number of other bubble Universes, though maybe a finite, inhomogeneous
distribution of them. That would be weird though.
