Is there a real chance that there is a multiverse?

I think it's far from absurd. It would be a nice continuation of history. First we found out that the earth is not the center but just a planet among others going around the sun, then we found out that there are uncounted suns in our Galaxy, and then we found out that there just as many entire Galaxies in the visible universe, with no end in sight beyond the visible universe. That our "universe" should again only be a pocket in a much larger structure, seems quite plausible to me. On top of that, I find the "many worlds" picture in quantum mechanics is also rather compelling from a theoretical Occam's razor perspective. So count me in as someone who finds it very plausible, even if there is only indirect empirical evidence. I don't "believe" it though, for that I'd need a bit more evidence.
