In one reality, you are a rock star. In one universe, you are a lottery winner and live a life of comfort. In yet another dimension, you are the Bill Gates of that cosmos.
Have you ever noticed that when people talk about The Multiverse, they always describe the best possible outcome for themselves and everybody else? Everybody is some world leader, sex symbol, sports hero, or some rich bastard in charge of everything. Nobody is some bum on a street corner shoving a needle in their arm. Nobody is a woman on a doctor's operating table getting a brain tumor removed. Nobody dreams up a multiverse where they never existed.
This is because: “wouldn't it be nice if my life were better?” The world is full of losers trying to cope with their miserable lives. What better way to delude yourself than to dream up alternate realities where you aren't some unfortunate slob, being ground down by daily life?
This is why The Multiverse and the Multiverse theory are both horseshit.
Parallel Worlds
Parallel world theories and stories have been happily tossed around since at least The Epic of Gilgamesh. This only proves that humans have been dealing with the shit sandwich of life for at best 5,000 years, and at worst far, far longer. Imagine those Sumerian dirt farmers, toiling all day long in the hot Mesopotamian sun, their lives basically one long, painful slog to another. They get home and somebody hands them a poem, that they read by the light of a greasy candle. Somebody is telling them that somewhere else, sometime else, that they are better. And for the next five thousand years, somebody was telling us something to keep our eyes off of what was really going on. Distracting us from the daily pain that was and is unnecessary.
Think about that old Marx quote about the “opium of the masses.” All this horseshit is a salve.
Infinity
Recently, at least to me, I have been reading[3][4] and hearing about how the universe is "infinite."[5] Because it is soooo infinite, there doesn't need to be different dimensions or parallel worlds. Why? Because infinity is so big, that all of these multiversal changes could be possible.
This is another load of horseshit.
Considering the fact that nobody can decide just how old the universe is, nobody can factually say how big it is as well.[6][7][8][9]
Black Holes and Worm Holes
Another funny story I continually run into is that black holes and worm holes can be used as a doorway to other portions of the unverse or other dimensions. Yeah, the people telling you this are also the same people telling you that a black hole destroys all information. The gravity is so great that nothing can escape.
Well if that is true, how do you get out of the other side?
And even if you do manage to get out of the other side of a black hole, you have been pulverized by the gravity of the singularity and you have been vaporized by the heat of the thing. Good luck with your journey.
But worm holes are stable and useful, you say. The information on that is still out, but I do know that particle accelerators like the one they have at CERN spend billions of dollars looking for them. When that much money gets tossed around, I immediately start thinking we are running into a case of The Science.
Theory
There is zero evidence for other universes. So the biggest misconception about the multiverse is that it’s a bonafide theory that’s been proven. “It isn’t—it doesn’t really have a mathematical basis—it is a collection of ideas.[10] In the cycle of science it remains at the hypothesis stage and needs to become a robust proposition before we can truly understand the consequences.”[11]

Scientists theorize it’s possible that if you flew a spaceship trying to reach the end of the universe, it would continue to fly past suns and moons and planets and black holes forever. Not everyone agrees with this idea.
