We have a lot of evidence to indicate that an event called the Big Bang created many aspects of our universe as we know it. Shortly after the Big Bang, scientists believe our own universe rapidly expanded in volume in a very short time. When physicists discuss our universe, they are effectively discussing things that happened right after the Big Bang. Even so, scientists have overwhelming evidence that an event like the ‘hot’ Big Bang happened. It is similarly possible the concept of the multiverse will become grounded some day in the tenets of modern physics after scientists find a way to test the theories that predict it.
