Now don't get started on "parallel dimensions." I mean simply that it is possible to imagine a "megauniverse" that includes but is not limited to the expanding matter available to our perception. (Since we are 'inside of" and "made of" our universe's matter we are, at present, limited by E.
[By 'universe' I mean simply an explosion of matter from a singularity into a vacuum. (Perhaps the vacuum surrounding the singularity has been 'vacuumed' of all matter by a gigantic black hole that resolves into the singularity.)]
However, there is no reason -not- to believe that our singularity might be one of many in various states of expansion or contraction. Hard to prove. We can't 'see' outside our universe. Still, could "dark matter' be evidence of interpenetrating universes? I'll ask that question elsewhere.

By definition all other universes are theoretical. We can never observe another universe so there can be no direct proof.

The term uni-verse is intended to mean "the whole entire thing." Parallel dimensions and such would still be included in this broadest of all categories. It seems a lot of people use the word to mean the "universe-as-we-know-it."

There is no proof or evidence that there is more than one universe, but string theory is about the closest thing to finding that out. Other dimensions may link our universe to other universes.

While there is no evidence now, it might not be completely impossible to find such evidence if, for example, it turns out that gravity can "leak" from one universe to others.

If it were, given the nature of universes, then there could not possibly be 'evidence' to show there are no other universes.

I think, therefore I am. We have proven that we are in our Universe.
There is no evidence of existence of other universes.
M-brane is another subject, but as far as evidence concern, there is none. It is just imagination.

There is no way to test this theory, but it is not impossible

NO , till now there is no evidence.

yes, look up the phrase "M-Brane"
