Which Universe in particular?

I'm watching Brian Cox's "Human Universe" - he states that the theory of inflation supports the theory that there are infinite Universes...

In case you were wondering, the answer to that question is below;

Douglas Adams solved that one many years ago.  I have yet to hear a more plausible answer.

If it helps Mick, Mr Cox's multiverse is encompassed by the word "everything" in the title of Mr Adams excellent trilogy in four parts.  Someone said that the trilogy had grown even more parts since I read the series but I haven't checked that yet.  I'd like to think that time travel and the existence of multiple realities (universes if you will) are facets of the same mechanism, if such a mechanism can be made tangible.

I'd love for someone to shove a Bablefish in the ear of the Orange One.  He might then learn to speak the same language as the rest of the world's leaders instead of claiming that there was a knife fight at his last big meeting.  What rhymes with chump I wonder?

My favourite Douglas Adams quote:

“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”
