Hmm seems like they just made it up to make their equations make sense.
Some people might imply that the idea of a multiverse was invented to counter the fine-tuning argument. My discussions with theoretical physicists I know on this indicates the opposite - that multiverse concepts have arisen as a matter of course from string theory and particle physics (and of course not all scientists accept it).

Woit’s book “Not Even Wrong” was a terrific exploration of the subject. Essentially he explained that maybe physicists shouldn’t be putting all their eggs in a basket that no one’s come close to offering any evidence for. Maybe a few people should stick with string theory and everyone else should skip the unproven meme and look to other ideas that might actually be provable sometime in the near future.

I’m really not qualified to comment since I only made it through University and have yet to complete my Multiversity level studies but the idea that there are multiple Universes is intriguing.
