What observable features are included in the "Mulitverse Theory"? [Your use
of "model" is far more accurate.] If nothing can be observed, which is my
limited understanding of it, it can not be called a scientific theory.
You might enjoy reading a currently active thread regarding the "Multiverse
Theory" in this astronomy forum:

If other universes could be, somehow, detectable, then I believe it would
diminish the idea of a personal God for a would-be believer. I believe God
did it exactly how he did it, but I am past my skeptism of His existence.
