I find that the idea of a "multiverse" too often gets mixed up with the idea of "every possible universe". The image of a heap of soap bubbles is much better, with some expanding and some popping out of existence as such. Of course the stuff of which the bubble was made does not go out of existence though it may change form. I've always thought that we are within just one such bubble of such immense proportions that there would be no hope of peering beyond it.
You often hear that the laws of science might be different elsewhere, and perhaps in some small way they could be. But my intuition is that by and large the basic stuff of which a universe is composed is probably fairly uniform. The stuff of our own universe has not always been the same nor has it behaved in ways which conform to the descriptions of science which hold today. The early universe was very different. But in other pockets of expansion it seems likely to me that the same cycles of stuff and states would be found. Except that no one will ever "find them" since there are no beings available to stroll between the bubbles.
Just my two cents worth. What I lack in learnedness I make up for with opinionatedness.
