Our discussion today traces the history of the idea from ancient philosophy to modern physics, highlighting Hugh Everett III's "many-worlds" interpretation of quantum mechanics as a foundational theory. Various types of multiverses are examined, including those arising from eternal inflation ("bubble universes"), quantum mechanics, and string theory ("brane" and "landscape" multiverses). Enjoy!
