I'm reading "The Fabric of the Cosmos" by Brian Greene, in which the author said that the multiverse theory was proposed as an explanation for quantum probability. If I remember correctly, it was proposed that when a particle is observed, the universes "branch off" with one existing for each point that particle could be at, and we simply "continue" through one of those universes.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
