34. It's currently unknowable what is, if anything, outside of our Universe

All we know is that the Big Bang started our Universe.

I'm certain that there is way more beyond our Universe, or at least there have been universes before our own. That's not scientific, it's just my opinion.

As I see it, our Universe was created by an existing physics, so there couldn't have been nothing before our Universe began. If the existing physics was able to create our Universe, then what was there to prevent that same physics from creating other universes?

As I've heard Neil deGrasse Tyson say in the past: "nature doesn't make things in ones". I'd say there are universes in all of existence (multiverse) as there are atoms in our Universe. Our Universe is likely a tiny speck in all of existence.
