What are multiverse theories?

Imagine you have a big toy box, and inside it are many different worlds, each one has its own toys, rules, and even characters that live there. That’s what multiverse theories are like: they say our universe is just one of many universes, all existing together in a giant toy box.

What's a Universe?

A universe is like your bedroom, everything you see and touch is part of it. But sometimes, there could be other bedrooms next to yours, with different lights, colors, or even toys that don’t exist in yours. Those are like other universes.

Why Do People Think There Are Many Universes?

Sometimes, scientists do experiments and find things that don’t fit into our universe’s rules, like a super toy you’ve never seen before. That could mean there’s another universe nearby, with its own special toys and rules!

It's like having different kinds of playgrounds, all part of the same big park, each one is fun in its own way!
