Of course, it depends which universe we're talking about... Standard Quantum Mechanics can lead to 4 levels of "multiverse." The first is based on the assumption that the universe is really infinite even if we can't see past 15 or so billion lightyears where the local big bang happened. If the universe is infinite, EVERY possible permutation of elementary particles and forces exists somewhere, including infinitely many exact duplicates of our own universe. The second is the many worlds theory, where everything that can happen DOES happen, leading to the "creation" of alternate universes with every single one of an infinite number of possible outcomes for every single possible quantum mechanical event.This works out to being the same universe as the first, for all practical purposes. The third multiverse is like the first two, except that every single possible value of every cosmological constant exists. The fourth is where every possible mathematically consistent description of a universe is true, which means that ANYTHING that we can conceive of as a "rule" including anything that story-tellers and song-writers come up with, is true, in some universe, not to mention all the stuff we can't conceive of -- if its "consistent," it exists. Those are the universes WE can conceive of andthey are all consisten with quantum mechanics. Who knows what else can exist if God exists (and of course, if the fourth level of multiverse exists, than God MUST exist).
