How It Works

PHYSICAL EVIDENCE

-

Many scientists have tried to find more physical, hard evidence for the multiverse’s existence. For example, if a neighbouri­ng universe happened to be close to ours long ago, it may have collided with our universe, creating a detectable imprint. That imprint could be in the form of distortion­s in the cosmic microwave background – the light left over from when the universe was a million times smaller than it is today – or in strange galaxy properties in the direction of the collision. But so far all the searches have come up empty, so the multiverse remains hypothetic­al.
