      Hi Evan

      I must admit i don’t know much about the multiple universe theory – so id just be guessing about how many (if any) exist!

      Im happy with just one 🙂 What do you think?

      Hi Evan,

      I really don’t know enough about each of the theories for the universe to give you a proper answer. I was reading up on the multiple universe theory and I found that very confusing to follow..

      I think it could be possible that there are other universes out there. We humans have not travelled very far at all. Using the Hubble telescope we have seen much more than we have explored, and yet I doubt we’ll ever be able to fully explore space! We have a lot more research and engineering to do in order to be able to travel long distances in space!

      I hope this is ok.. If you let me know what theory you believe in then I can see if I think it is believable to me too!

      Hi Evan, I think just one universe exists! (or at least I sort of hope that’s the case, getting your head around multiple universes is difficult!)

    I don’t really know what to believe in but I used to think that there were universes before this that collapsed and then the Big Bang happened somehow by quantum tunnelling then after so many billion years the cycle reset and went again.

      Actually I think what you just said there is quite believable! I think when we learn how the big bang happened (we are counting on you CERN!) it might unravel some mysteries and help us understand which universe theory is correct!
