CALL ME SNAKE

I had some questions, as most people do at some time or another, about tunneling probabilities and decay times in de Sitter space and how that all relates to the Poincare Recurrence Theorem. So I sent four related questions to the world’s top expert on this subject, a Stanford physicist. Thanks to the internet, my answers came back in just five minutes–a fact that still amazes me, even after having used the internet for a decade. So now I’m all set, if only I can understand his answer.
