The idea that our universe may be only one of an infinite number of universes that exist within an overarching multiverse is something that has been gaining a lot of traction over the last few years. Some scientists argue that the existence of the multiverse could help to explain the fact that our own universe should contain a lot more dark energy than it currently does.
