And I assert the hypothesis that the universe next door is populated with nothing but pink elephants; for which I have as much evidence as those who hypothesize a multiverse.

Scientific evidence shows is in reality full of Stay Puft marshmallow men.

It is possible but it’s certainly near impossible to prove or disprove.

Any existence outside of our visible universe remains… well… unobservable.

As a result, any laws of physics that reside outside of it are unknown, and so is the possibility of a collision, if there even are other universes out there.

Even if one were possible, it would be impossible to know what effect it could have on our own, if any, as it would require us to know what sits on dimensions outside of our universe, and the laws of physics that reign there.

There’s no evidence to suggest it has. With all science, and especially stuff that far outside our ability to observe, we need to be conservative and not assume things we don’t have evidence for. It’s certainly an interesting idea, and one that’s worth exploring and experimenting to try to confirm, but without evidence it’s not an idea which has much validity.

This question came from researching the great void. I was reading that some theories say that could of been an universal collision point.

Ok now I get where you’re coming from. Yes, superstructure stuff like that is at the very bleeding edge of what humans know. Multiple universes interacting is a strong hypothesis for crazy large scale phenomena like that. My only point was to approach stuff like that skeptically.

Honestly it hurts my brain even considering stuff on that magnitude. Very cool stuff though.

We don't know. No scientific evidence. Just guessing and discussions at this point which is perfectly fine.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are more universes besides our own. Perhaps interacting with one another. Our own universe is mind-boggling massive. Too big for the human mind to comprehend. So to find out infinite other universes exist would not surprise me.

I'm starting to wonder if humans will ever really know the true scale and nature of the universe.
