Mathematical models do not impress me to be honest unless it is directly applicable in real world applications.Some people claim it neatly solves the problem of what happened to cause the Big Bang, others say String theory explains the existence of pretty much everything. However there isn't anything solid to go on since it's all a bunch of hypotheses, so I don't support calling it "theory".

Science works for our universe, and the point was that if other universes exist, we can't detect them (at least not yet) scientifically since they may operate with other laws of physics. Asking for evidence of something that cannot have evidence by definition is pointless.
