Recent investigations on the evolution of the inhomogeneities in the inflationary universe are reviewed. 1) Strict cosmological no hair theorem does not hold, but the class of inhomogeneous universe which evolve to homogeneous de Sitter universe is finite, i.e, “weak cosmic no hair theorem” holds. 2) High density regions in the inhomogeneous universe evolve to wormholes provided that i) the size of the regions is greater than the horizon length, but smaller than a critical length which is the function of the density contrast, and ii) the density is three times higher than that of surrounding region. 3) If wormholes are formed copiously in the period of inflation, they evolve to causally disconnected “child- universes”. In this scenario, the universe we are now observing is one of the locally flat regions.
