What you are really asking strikes at the root of conscious perception..UNI by defintion means one..the singular nature of space..is really debateable..cosmologist will tell you the weight of the known UNIverse implies a great deal of matter is as yet unseen or undetectable by current instruments and yet they theorize that so called dark matter exists..So does that mean there could be another type of existence within the confines and context of this DARK MATTER and perhaps another form of consciousness and perception as well?
I cant know this..and I surely cant prove this...but neither can anyone disprove this either..its right on the bleeding edge of possibilty...highly improbable..but not IMPOSSIBLE.
Good science means asking good questions..and you are asking a question that Steven Hawking and Carl Sagan and even Frank Drake have tried to answer..
So in my way I have to answer NO the place we inhabit should probably be termed a MULTIVERSE the idea of all we see ie the OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE as being a singular CONSTRUCT does not work for me..like a mandelbrot set the deeper we are able to look the more we are able to see..Our LIMITED LIFESPAN is the limit to our abilty to comprehend that which we see around us..WE are simply not here long enough in GALACTIC terms or for that matter in Terrestrial Geologic terms either..Nope We are not
the only one

Well if you take Webster's New World College Dictionary first description, "the totality of all the things that exist; creation; the cosmos" as your definition of universe, then I would have to say that this is the only one. But since God has never said much on the subject; He could have created other dimensions or parallel universes. We really won't know till we are with Him.

Some people believe that the black holes is made up of antimatter, leading to an antimatter universe, or anti universe. Antimatter definitely exists. Some people believe that it could be that when the black holes have swallowed up our entire universe, the process then reverses itself, and that the black holes in the antiverse is the portals to our universe. How's them tators? I don't know. It's all over my head, Shwoooo!!!

The universe as we understand is the only one we can understand, but it doesn't mean that there are not more parallel universes.
I have a new theory that rejoins and complete th String theory.
To arrived to understand this theory you have to understand the way matter organize itself in every and single system.
I.E. Each human body is an universe and each one has his own DNA, each DNA is a new and different universe.

Multiverse theory is just that- a theory. Some like to use string theory and other newer concepts to support it- but I tend to think there is only one universe.

Now- are there other planes of existence within our universe? Yes I believe so.

Their always have been speculation of a theoretical multiverse. They think that we might just be one Universe that sucks matter from a mother Universe.

The main definition of "universe" is the whole body of things and phenomena observed or postulated .

Stated more simply, the universe is everything there is anywhere.

So, yes, there is only one universe.
There may be, however, multiple dimensions in our universe.
think about that for a minute.

I can only think; Who is to say what exists outside the Universe which is our Creator's Domain?

Universe means one.
If another universe could exist it would have to have some connection to this one then it would not be separate.
One could not exist,to us if it was not relative to us.

No, in fact if the quantum computer works, it may be evidence of multible universes, in fact that would explain many of the quirks that subatomic particales exhibit
