New Evidence for Multiverse from Planck Scientist

New Evidence for Multiverse from Planck Scientist
Its often said by theists when debating the fine tuning argument , there is no evidence for a multiverse. 
We just released a short section of our exclusive interview with , George Efstathiou, who was the scientist chosen to present the cosmology results for the European Space Agency's Planck Probe. This is the latest spacecraft to map the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the oldest light we can see in the universe. 
By making maps of the CMB Planck tried to constrain models of cosmic inflation. Inflation is a period of exponential expansion of space that is believed can generate a multiverse.
NASA already claimed some evidence for inflation in their data. We asked George Efstathiou whether the Planck data can say if the data favours the type of inflation that leads to a multiverse. He not only said yes but that its the most important result from Planck

It would be great to be alive in an era that can conduct experiments which reveal actual evidence of other universes with different physical laws than our own! Imagine!

Couldn't really follow all that, but the idea is pretty damn cool

I can't watch the link now but very much look forward to doing so.  I am intrigued to find out how this is even possible.  Though it is far from a given that it will be within my reach.

Big fan of the multiverse here!

Go subtle variations on your Vorlon across the universeses!!
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Sorry V, my multiverse probe (runs on as flux capacitor btw) just scanned the first squillion universes and the V in all of them was still a deviot with a cesspool of morals!
But funnily enough, most of the V's in these universes are all religious? Dunno (V is a catholic priest in 1,259 of them?)
No God, No fear.

Can some one give me short answer if you understand multiverse theory. How something as crazy as multiverse exist? It's sounds supernatural.

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.

Scientists get payed for thinking about such grand stuff. For me it seems pointless.
