The concept of multiple universes goes back to the 6th century, when pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Anaximander suggested the idea of infinite worlds for the first time.
Yet multiverse ideas gained scientific weight only in the 1980s, together with the inflation theory, which not only explained why the cosmos is so flat and smooth, but also predicted an endless creation of new ‘bubble’ kinds of universes.
And now, it seems that scientists are finally closer than ever to finding the evidence that could prove the multiverse’s existence.
