    The document discusses the multiverse theory, which hypothesizes that multiple universes exist together comprising all of space, time, matter, and physical laws. It notes that multiple universes have been proposed in various fields. The physics community has debated multiverse theories, with some prominent physicists doubting other universes exist while others argue it is a valid topic of study. However, others are concerned that multiverse theories cannot be empirically tested using current scientific methods. While some early data was claimed to provide evidence of collisions with other universes, later and higher resolution data did not find statistically significant evidence to support this.

    Multiverse Theory

    The multiverse is a hypothetical group of multiple universes. Together, these universes

    comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the

    physical laws and constants that describe them. The multiverse is a hypothetical group of

    multiple universes. Together, these universes comprise everything that exists: the entirety of

    space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them.

    Multiple universes have been hypothesized in cosmology, physics, astronomy, religion,

    philosophy, transpersonal psychology, music, and all kinds of literature, particularly in science

    fiction, comic books and fantasy. In these contexts, parallel universes are also called "alternate

    universes", "quantum universes", "interpenetrating dimensions", "parallel universes", "parallel

    dimensions", "parallel worlds", "parallel realities", "quantum realities", "alternate realities",

    "alternate timelines", "alternate dimensions" and "dimensional planes".

    The physics community has debated the various multiverse theories over time. Prominent

    physicists are divided about whether any other universes exist outside of our own. Some

    physicists say the multiverse is not a legitimate topic of scientific inquiry. Concerns have been

    raised about whether attempts to exempt the multiverse from experimental verification could

    erode public confidence in science and ultimately damage the study of fundamental physics.

    Some have argued that the multiverse is a philosophical notion rather than a scientific hypothesis

    because it cannot be empirically falsified. The ability to disprove a theory by means of scientific
    experiment has always been part of the accepted scientific method. Paul Steinhardt has famously

    argued that no experiment can rule out a theory if the theory provides for all possible outcomes.

    Around 2010 scientists such as Stephen M. Feeney analyzed Wilkinson Microwave

    Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data and claimed to find evidence suggesting that our universe

    collided with other (parallel) universes in the distant past. However, a more thorough analysis of

    data from the WMAP and from the Planck satellite, which has a resolution three times higher

    than WMAP, did not reveal any statistically significant evidence of such a bubble universe

    collision. In addition, there was no evidence of any gravitational pull of other universes on ours.
