  187. This family of probability measures sometimes are called “global,” whereas the measures based on the comoving coordinates are called “local,” see R. Bousso and B. Freivogel, arXiv:hep-th/0610132. However, this terminology, and the often repeated implication that global means acausal, are somewhat misleading. All of these measures are based on investigation of the physical evolution of a single causally connected domain of initial size O(H-1). The early stages of the evolution of our part of the universe were in.uenced by the evolution of other parts of the original domain even though some of these parts at present are exponentially far away from us. One should not confuse the exponentially large particle horizon, which is relevant for understanding of the origin of our part of the universe, with the present radius of the event horizon H-1 ~1028 cm, which is relevant for understanding of our future.
