Did our universe 'bubble off' from ordinary cold space?

Quoting from BBC News, 6 June 2008 Hints of 'time before Big Bang' By Chris Lintott:

A team of physicists has claimed that our view of the early Universe may contain the signature of a time before the Big Bang.

The discovery comes from studying the cosmic microwave background (CMB), light emitted when the Universe was just 400,000 years old.

Their model may help explain why we experience time moving in a straight line from yesterday into tomorrow.

Details of the work have been submitted to the journal Physical Review Letters.

Wow...No wonder I cannot help but wonder! Scientists wonder if Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) fluctuations could be hints that our universe bubbled off from a previous one...a sudden tiny cosmic pocket of cold space in perfect order that instantly began this ongoing universal breaking - or hatching - into chaos! Do wonders ever cease?
