Head swimming yet?
The big bounce, theorizing that we're living in one of an infinite possibility of universes existing in the midst of an ever expanding and contacting universe.
Don't know very much the topic, so please correct me if I'm wrong. Will have to look into it further
Multiple possible universes is the multiverse theory. That is another topic for headswimming but it it's most generic form, it is an inevitability and there have actually been some theoretical calculations made as to the minimum distance between them.
edit: Here is the PDF of their paper (Aguirre and Gratton) if anyone is interested.
