1. What is a multiverse?A multiverse is a collection of many different universes, each one a separate bubble that might have its own rules and constants.
2. Why do scientists think there could be other universes?Scientists look at theories like string theory, eternal inflation, and quantum mechanics, which suggest that the conditions that made our universe could happen many times, creating many universes.

Eternal Inflation: A cosmological theory suggesting that the inflationary epoch of the universe may continue indefinitely in some regions.
Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI): A quantum mechanics interpretation where all possible outcomes of a quantum event occur in separate, parallel universes.
Fine-Tuning Problem: The observation that the fundamental constants of the universe appear precisely set for the existence of life.
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB): The faint afterglow of radiation left over from the Big Bang.
