Abstract
The quantum fluctuations of an anisotropic Bianchi type-IX metric and its tunneling into a quasiclassical inflationary phase are analyzed by solving the Wheeler-DeWitt equation within a minisuperspace description. Within this model and the adopted statistical interpretation of the "wave function of the Universe" the appearance of an extremely isotropic universe from quantum fluctuations occurs with necessity.Keywords
