Most are dead, but very very rarely, the right combination for life-forms comes up.<\/p>\n<p>The Marvel multiverse, by contrast, merely rearranges the familiar atoms and forces of our universe (plus a bit of magic).

The evidence suggests that the universe was hotter, denser and smoother. This is called the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.space.com\/25126-big-bang-theory.html\">Big Bang Theory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But was there a Big Bang? Was there a moment when the universe was infinitely hot, infinitely dense, and contained in a single point? Well, maybe. But we\u2019re not sure, so scientists have explored a bunch of other options.<\/p>\n<p>One idea, called <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newscientist.com\/definition\/cosmic-inflation\/\">cosmic inflation<\/a>, says that in the first fraction of a second of the universe, it expanded extremely quickly. If true, it would explain a few things about why our universe expands in just the way it does.<\/p>\n<p>But, how do you make a universe expand so rapidly? The answer is a new type of energy field. It has control of the first moments of the universe, causes a rapid expansion, and then hands the reins to the more familiar forms of matter and energy: protons, neutrons, electrons, light, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Cosmic inflation might make a multiverse. Here\u2019s how. According this idea, most of space is expanding, inflating, doubling in size, moment to moment. Spontaneously and randomly, in small islands, the new energy field converts its energy into ordinary matter with enormously high energies, releasing what we now see as a Big Bang.<\/p>\n<p>If these high energies scramble and reset the basic properties of matter, then each island can be thought of as a new universe with different properties.
