Multiverse was hypothesized by a physicist named Erwin Schrodinger. Basically, “multiverse” is a theory that throughout a person’s life they may be faced with millions of different choices which could lead to millions of different outcomes. Each time one of these proverbial crossroads is arrived at, the universe splits into several possible branches based upon the decisions available to the individual at that moment in time. The branches go on to co-exist as separate spacetimes and given the amount of life we predict in the universe, it may be possible that there is an existence of an infinite amount of alternate universes. This theory is kind of like that of “Butterfly Theory”. Some believe that there is another universe where there is the same exact person like you with the same characteristics, family but there is a little bit of a difference. Some believe that there is an infinite amount of those universes, not only two. Technically according to the theory, we co-exist but we live in different dimensions. Till this date, there's been a lot of “evidence” that multiverses do exist. For example, once a person from the country Taured (which does not exist in this dimension) visited Japan for a business trip but the country never existed and all that he said wasn't true (at least in this dimension) he was kept in the top floor of the airport hotel with two guards at the door because he seemed suspicious to the cops and this case was going to be handled by the government. But when the officers arrived he was not there. It was not possible for him to run away through the door because there were two guards and not from the window as he was on the top floor. So where did he go? We don't know till this date. But it is actually weird that science doesn't have any explanation for it and this theory is still unsolved. Looking at the evidence and many other similar pieces of evidence, the multiverse does exist as scientists believe that under every massive black hole there is another universe.
