One of the earliest realizations in the history of quantum mechanics is that matter has a wave-like property.
Other physicists soon confirmed ...electrons scattered off a thin foil before landing on a target. The way the electrons scattered was more characteristic of a wave than a particle.
What, exactly, is a wave of matter?
Schrödinger...developed his famous equation to describe the behavior of those waves... But Schrödinger's idea flew in the face of more experimental tests. For example, even though an electron acted like a wave midflight, when it reached a target, it landed as a single, compact particle, so it couldn't be physically extended in space.
Instead, an alternative interpretation began to gain ground...the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and it is by far the most popular interpretation... In this model, the wave function...doesn't really exist. Instead, it's a mathematical convenience that we use to describe a cloud of quantum mechanical probabilities for where we might find a subatomic particle the next time we go looking for it.
When two particles interact, they don't just bump into each other; for a brief time, their wave functions overlap. When that happens, you can't have two separate wave functions anymore. Instead, you must have a single wave function that describes both particles simultaneously.
When we retrace all the steps of a measurement, what comes out is a series of entanglements from overlapping wave functions.
In quantum mechanics, we're never sure what a particle will do — sometimes it may go up, sometimes it may go down, and so on. In this interpretation, every time a quantum particle interacts with another quantum particle, the universal wave function splits into multiple sections, with different universes containing each of the different possible results.
And this is how you get a multiverse.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.
There is no such thing as a multiverse. It was invented to explain how it was impossible mathematically for life to have spontaneously arisen from our universe through time and chance alone. If there are infinite univereses and infinite time then we don’t need God.
“If there are infinite univereses and infinite time then we don’t need God.”
I would say He might be extremely helpful in figuring it all out, since it was all His idea in the first place.
If there are infinite number of universes, wouldn’t one finally allow an omnipotent God that would have dominion over them all?
Sure, but this is not science. Science is about the observable. “Other universes” are not observable, so you can’t do science about them. It is science-fiction.
There is ONE universe. “UNI” is from Latin for ONE.
The Holy Spirit...
“If there are infinite univereses and infinite time then we don’t need God.”
Who made the infinite universes?
Huh?
It comes from the ancient Latin word Universum. Not exactly the latest science.
I don't think you understand. This is complete fiction. There is no proof or evidence. This theory of "multiverse" was conceived of and promulgated by an avowed atheist, Hugh Everett. To be blunt it has been promoted by a culture in which the existence of God is met with scorn and vitriol. In our one universe it is mathematically impossible for all the conditions needed for existence to have come into being randomly. Impossible. There MUST have been a creator or an intelligence. That idea cannot stand among the Godless masses so the "multiverse" is there to allow people to continue to deny God.
Well there are not an infinite number of universes. The "theory" of the multiverse basically pretends that due to some physical phenomena that universes are somehow generated infinitely. Most of the "universes" are wortheless...i.e. conditions for self sustainment and life are not met. But of course if there are an infinite number then at least ONE of them will be randomly perfect. That's how "science" explains the impossibility of our universe and of life itself without a creator.
That’s the second concept of a ‘multiverse’, which I think was invented later. The article is talking about the first concept which came about as one interpretation of quantum mechanics.
“Well there are not an infinite number of universes.”
Why not?
Same reason there are not more then two genders. It's simply lost souls trying to explain a miraculous world created by a loving God.
