Are there other universes?

By Romilly Clarke Year 7 Our Universe is part of a multiverse. Meaning that we are part of a group that consists of many different universes. According to physicists there are many different types of multiverses. This suggests that, yes, there are other universes. More to my point: The multiverse is a hypothetical group of multiple universes. Together, these universes make up everything that exists including: all of space, time, matter, energy, and the physical laws. These are also called ‘Parallel Universes’ . According to Scientific American (who say that there is not just one universe but many parallel one) a multiverse could be a realistic idea. Furthermore astronomers are able to see out to a distance of about 42 billion light-years. We have no reason to suspect the universe stops there. Beyond it could be many—even infinitely many—domains much like the one we see.
