Advances in fundamental physics suggest a natural universe-generating mechanism, implying infinitely many big bangs scattered through time and space.
The observed universe is thus relegated to an infinitesimal fragment in a vast and more elaborate system, dubbed the multiverse.
This approach could explain the Goldilocks enigma - why our own universe is so bio-friendly that it looks like intelligent design. But the multiverse concept has bizarre implications for the nature of reality and our place in the universe.
