Put simply, the many supposed universes of “string theory” have no support from evidence or data. A much more promising indicator of multiple universes lies in a concept sometimes called “Eternal Inflation.”
After scientists discovered that our expanding universe began in a cosmic “Big Bang”—a beginning that clearly implies a Creator—they noticed that they needed to assume a brief but intense period of hyperinflation, when the universe grew at unimaginable speeds. While this “Inflation” concept solved some problems, it also opened up the possibility that, rather than a one-time event, it might be a continuing process—where not only did our universe “balloon” out of the Big Bang, but other additional universes could have done the same thing and may still be doing so. Like one of the many soap bubbles blown by an excited child playing on a summer day, our universe would simply be one “bubble” among many!
Physicists and astronomers have examined measurements of deep space to determine if there are any of these hypothetical universes existing close to our own. So far, however, they have found nothing (“Blow for ‘dark flow’ in Planck’s new view of the cosmos,” New Scientist, April 6, 2013).
In the song of multiple universes, it seems that each verse is the same as the first: No evidence, no data—nothing but conjecture and speculation. So, with little actual science to justify many scientists’ religious devotion to the multiple universe idea, why are so many so attached to a multiverse?
