This has a few interesting corollaries, ISTM. 1. It hints that there might be a way to distinguish the pilot wave interpretation of QM from the rest, which could be handy
2. It hints at eternal inflation (the second bit of support for this in the last few months, assuming the BICEP results stand up). EI gives rise to a "Level 1" multiverse which makes the MWI's multiverse redundant, in a sense. 3. It DOESN'T explain how the universe formed spontaneously from nothing, however! It explains how a patch of false vacuum or whatever which obeys the Wheeler-deWitt equation could have generated an expanding space-time, and given 2. there is no need for anything to appear from nothing - we have a steady state cosmos, on the largest scale.
