Technically, this will sound as a bad answer to you and a lot of other people, but the number of universes anywhere is both infinite and zero at the same time from a mathematical equation.
For each action, as you know, there is an equal and opposite reaction that has effects both in our universe (no matter how large or small) but also has actions that in multiple universes - in the form of parallel worlds, if you will.
Each thought, decision, action, word, person, hesitant moment etcetera that you or anyone else do in this universe will in theory cause a new universe to be born that mirrors this universe in almost every way, but a small deviance of world line because of the action you have chosen (thus explaining the "parallel" meaning.)
Looking on it in a simpler way, Nostrdamus could have decided not to write about the so-called "prophecies" that he saw, and instead devote his life to only medicine during the time of the Black Death. From ignoring the thought to document the prophecies, the world we now know would be different, as none of us would have grown up hearing his tales of impending apocalypse, not seen any documentaries filmed about his prophecies (because he never wrote about them) and so on.

I think our universe is it.
Any thing connected to it would be part of it any thing not connected would not exist
I read one incident where the writer said that there were 10 to the power of 500 munti-verses.
Why not 10 to the power of 751 multi-verses?

There are exactly 122 universes in the multiverse. One of them is named "Fred" and today is its birthday. Would it *kill* you to send a card? Huh?

About 17, but most of them equal zero.
Try to understand quantum theory at your peril. It is the Zen logic of the physics world.

well, I dont accept the theory of multiuniverse. if there will be multiuniverses, then what about the big bang, the big crunch?? will there be vacuum between two neibourhood universes? if yes, then what about expansion of universe? if the universes are sperical, then some of space will be blank.. it is possible that one big bang-->universe expands-->universe stables-->universe contracts--> big crunch-->again big bang,...
