Today, you have a slew of different models with different scenarios of what could have happened before the big bang, of which there are many models using the concept of a multiverse. This study gives a test means for ruling on these MV theories. Whether this will pan out remains to be seen, but I find it extraordinary that we are probing an area that was once the sole domain of philosophy or religion.
And that's exactly why it is important. At least we are at a point where we can ask these questions...or even willing to ask these questions.
Let your anger be as a monkey in a piñata; hiding with the candy, hoping the children do not break through with a stick.
