Our universe may be one of many according to physicists. The multiverse theory proposes that our Big Bang was not unique and that other universes could have been created by other Big Bang events, resulting in an infinite number of universes. Some universes may resemble our own while most would be lifeless. The idea of a multiverse helps explain puzzles in cosmology like the flatness problem and provides a potential explanation for why the constants of physics in our universe allow for life. String theory incorporates the multiverse concept by predicting more than 10^500 types of universes from different vibrational modes of fundamental strings.
