How does one prove the existence of multiverses?

 

Proof isn't yet possible, but there's some suggestive evidence. Suppose we reason thus:

 

The only Universe we know, is the one we can observe with our telescopes, and radio-telescopes. These instruments show no sign of other intelligent beings anywhere. If such beings existed, surely they'd make their presence felt. They could do this, by sending messages to us. But our radio-telescopes have not picked up any messages. Even though we've listened quite thoroughly.

 

As for our optical telescopes, they reveal no signs of intelligent organisation in the way the stars are arranged. The stars look scattered about at random, strewn all over the place. No sign of the orderly arrangement we might expect, if they were in the charge of some advanced alien species.

 

So we must conclude - zero evidence of other intelligent life - in this Universe. Everything seems quite Newtonian/Einsteinian. No evidence of large-scale interference with these natural laws.

 

However, such interference might be detectable, in the more subtle form of ghosts, poltergeists, and other so-called spirit phenomena. These seem well-reported, though so far, not well explained. What if they're a kind of "leakage", or "interference" between our own Universe, and another. Like two radio stations on a slightly different frequency causing mutual interference.

 

Could this be evidence of the multiverse?

If one were to subscribe to a torus universe (donut theory) where a big bang is more of a big through (or even a continually expanding and contracting universe) one could theorise a succession of universes existing in parallel to one another outside of what we laughingly call time in a multiplicity that is in fact a repeating sequence of a single universe.

For one you're implying that life other then us exists, which is probably true but not empirical because it has not been proven. 2nd you implied that said life has to be intelligent and using standard earth radio/radar system, odds are if they do have technology it's probably developed from an entirely different path then ours. 3rd you implied that the possibly intelligent life has to be looking for us, what if they're religious manics or a race of warlords or a puddle of sentient bacteria. Please don't make assumptions about life other then our own. Also owing to the immense size of the universe and the far larger size of any multiverse that could exist, it most likely means that radiowaves interference is impossible. You really need to think about the true vastness of space though.
