I watched some weird documentary on it... something about there are actually 2 parallel universes and where they end they are like.. wiggly!?! and when the wiggles hit eachother they cause a "big bang"
this means
there are probably an infinite number of universes, and big bangs happen all the time.
here is the link to the documentary:

tell me your thoughts and if someone could summarize that in like.. "parallel universe for dummies" form. Half of it i didnt understand but it reallly interested me!

Hi. I posted this in another question similar to yours. It was easier for me to copy and paste it, sorry if it doesn't answer your question completely. But you are welcome to email me with any question.
Here it is:
There is actually another school of thought on this and is gaining wider acceptance and popularity.
It is my preferred theory and the one I generally refer to and subscribe. It is the "Superstring Theory"
This theory suggests that our Universe is like a big amoeba-like structure called a "membrane". We are one of possibly an infinite amount of other membranes. Noone has attempted to calculate or come up with a formula as to how many membranes may be immediately surrounding us.
The distance to each membrane is close to each other in relation to the size of each membrane (which may be near infinite in size) and every few eons or so two membranes could collide with each other causing a massive explosion ("Big Bang") in each membrane causing in instantaneous destruction and recreation of all matter in each membrane, thus causing in essence a new Universe.
This may have happened an infinite amount of times in our eternal past and may continue to happen in our eternal future.
Moving on. To my understanding there is a supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy. It is alternately and erratically being fed by material and debris circling the edge of it. It goes into a feeding frenzy the suddenly stops and goes into a dormant period when there is a gap between the matter being consumed and the next mass of material. Waiting to be pulled in close enough to begin the next feeding frenzy.
It has been theorized that every galaxy has a supermassive black hole and that it may have been essential in forming a galaxy. I can't recall the specifics about the reasoning behind it, but I am certain that this was asserted.

Actually here is another post of mine copied and pasted :
I subscribe (unless a better, more plausible and accepted thoery is brought forth) to the same school of thought roger m introduced. That is "String Theory", also known as "Superstring Theory" or even "M theory".
It basically postulates that all matter is made up of vibrating open, curved, or closed looped energy strings vibrating at different harmonics. It also posits that an enormous closed loop string which vibrates in a manner that closes all points around it, looking like a giant amoeba and is termed a "membrane" is what our Universe may be.
This theory also lends the idea that there may be an infinite amount of nearby (in terms of grand scale, because traversing this nearby distance would perhaps take the lifetime of our Universe) membranes and that sometimes, in eons, two membranes could collide and producing the effect we know as the "Big Bang" destroying and recreating all the matter in our Universe. Which is probably the mirror effect in the other membrane.
As to what is in between the distance of the membranes only mathematical equations and our imagination could only speculate.
I'd like to think it is vanilla pudding....rofl.

Interesting theory, however, astronomers and scientists alike agree that the fartherest objects that we can presently see in all directions from Earth are 40 Billion Light Years distant. That is not the END of the Universe, that is just as far as our technology will let us SEE. In a few years maybe some new technique will extend that capability out to 60 or 70 Billion Light Years. Only time will tell.
So the point is, you have to realize that Outer Space (this Universe) is "at least" 40 Billion Light Years in radius all around the Earth. Now, assuming it is probably much, much bigger than that in reality...where would you like to place the other Universe? And, if it is, let's say, 100 Billion Light Years away from us...who cares??? No one is ever going out there, much less, coming back.

I seen that documentary and that has something to do with our universe and many other universes exist in the 13th dimension and when they collide it causes a big bang and the creation of another universe. I understood what they were saying but it is a lot to put your head around. The documentary I believe was on M theory.

Your final paragraph in certainty references the Anthropic concept, which says we on no account could've existed in a universe that would no longer help existence, as a result we does no longer be around to ask all those questions. yet as you suggested, it does make one ask your self no be counted if there are different many universes available, with a view to offer adequate numbers to strengthen the prospect that a minimum of you'll be appropriate for existence. yet there are different straightforward how you are able to seem at this too. existence stepped forward to extra healthful this universe, no longer any incorrect way around. If situations have been diverse, possibly another style of stable be counted could've arisen, that would desire to've allowed another style of existence. possibly our universe is cyclical, with a number of the cycles being somewhat short and as a result sterile of existence. or possibly there's a stable explanation why those ultimately-tuned actual constants have their modern-day values; our information of physics isn't so stable that we can definitively answer that query. possibly those values are no longer loose to selection at random reckoning on what universe they are in. Trillions and trillions of years from now, each and every of the celebrities will finally burn out, or maybe protons themselves might possibly decay away. Even then, some scientists suspect that there may well be stable preparations of electrons and antielectrons orbiting one yet another, that would desire to behave incredibly like the classic atomic be counted around us. it may take an unimaginably long term for those debris to end an orbit, and the orbits may well be as huge as a as much as date galaxy, yet in this long distant destiny, time and area could be ample, nonetheless somewhat chilly. possibly even then a clean style of existence might desire to enhance. And if it did, it would see our modern-day era as a great way too warm and short-lived for existence to enhance, lots as we view the 1st few seconds after the massive bang. final analysis, i do no longer think of all of us be conscious of adequate approximately physics to respond to this question yet. yet it is not any reason to bounce to the tip that it had to be created by utilising a deity.

All those are unproven therioes that will prolly never get proven. In the theory there are infinite paralla universes. Watch the movie donnie darko.
