In physics it's just a theory that - per the math - an infinite number of universes could have been generated during the big bang. As said above, if truly infinite then there should be some (an infinite number, actually) that are exactly like ours but "insert small change here". Actually there should be an infinite number exactly like ours, also. And an infinite number of universes which are only different from ours because I misspelled the word "physics" in my first sentence.

Frankly it's so wide open I don't find it as interesting as many people seem to. Infinite is so infinite that if one universe blew up entirely it would make no difference as there are infinite more (and an infinite number of them are blowing up every second). It's impossible to care about IMO. And they may or may not exist in the first place and we will never know. And if our own universe is infinite (still a possibility) there should be infinite planets exactly like Earth out there anyways.

Really, though, I highly doubt that anything about the universe is mathematically infinite to this silly degree.

Empty space within our universe may be infinite but I don't believe the matter within is
