You're talking about the "mulitverse theory" (see link). Next time, don't say "universe of universes", but just say "the multiverse". It's become convention now to use that term for what you're talking about. Yes, it's a concept being taken very seriously among astrophysicists, who have a lot of reasons for believing in it. Physicists also take it seriously because it may help explain how laws of physics as we know them have come into being.
The "multiverse", by the way, is not to be confused with "parallel worlds" hypothesis, originally arising from quantum interpretations and now frequently suggested in string theory. The difference is that with "parallel worlds", the worlds are co-existing simultaneously, each one a bit different from another. The multiverse, on the other hand, involves universes which may be radically different from each other, with different laws of physics. Wtih parallel universes, all of them share the same time axis. With the multiverse, it may not even be meaningful to speak of any time axis at all shared by the universes.

Uni means one. There is only one universe. Here is a good definition for you:
The Universe is the totality of existence.
If it exists, it's the Universe.
Try to wrap your mind around this concept and understand it to its fullest. People who try to tell you that there are other universes are mistaken. There are a number of different dimensions but only one Universe.
Edit:The multiverse theory that the next posting mentions isn't a new concept, nor does it take away from the concept of one universe. I dislike using analogies but here is one that might help you with the concept:
Say you have an extremely large house and within that house are several dollhouses. Each of these dollhouses has its own environment, some being extremely different from others. Although each of these dollhouses might be considered individual entities, they are all part of the same whole entity, that being the large house. The analogy only works in showing that everything belongs to the same whole, even if they might appear to be distinctly separate from each other.
Also, time is basically a way to measure entropy within a system, and isn't a thing beyond this. There is no absolute time and anything that appears to be the passage of time is relative to the observer.

My definition has always been one universe, a bunch of galaxys, each galaxy containing lots and lots of solar systems and stars.
Wow, I know the words above are pretty technical, but you have to be careful when so accurately describing something as large as the universe.

No the universe is made up of many galaxies.
One possible theory is that our universe is like a bubble in a bathtub filled with many bubbles.

i'm sorry to interrupt it to you Robert B, however the thought you're advancing is impossible. before everything, black holes ultimately deplete simply by their emission of Hawking Radiation. Secondly, if all the undertaking interior the universe condensed into one element, there could be no mechanism to make it explode. 0.33 of all, the huge bang concept is subsidized up with the aid of a super form of information such simply by fact the relax trend of historic past radiation. the foremost factors of this concept whether, proceed to be unknown. certainly, no person knows for specific. there's a super form of information backing up an explosion like the huge bang, whether this has yet to be definitively proved.

There is only 1 universe. there are, however, many galaxies in the universe.

11 dimensional string theory has not produced anything.
It is possible that the 7 dimensions of space that are not perceived are mathematical deception, and therefore string theory is a theory of nothing, as you will find if you read the wikipedia article on string theory all the way to the end.

No; I think you are confusing with the other meaning of the word "space" with "universe"

Maybe But I was always thought everything in existence everywhere except for the afterlife was contained in one big Universe.

No it is consistant of several galexies. The universe is the sum of all planets, moons, stars, and galexies.
