Physics, defined as the study of physical reality, does indeed provide good evidence for the astronomical multiverse. The field of galaxies that extends in all directions as far as our observational instruments have reached suggests that the early astronomers were correct when they described the galaxies as Island Universes. If that intuition had formed the basis for our cosmological model rather than the simplified (for mathematical convenience) assumption that the vast Cosmos we observe constitutes a simultaneously existing Universe we would not be stuck with the absurd, illogical, not to mention incoherent, expanding universe of the Big Bang Theory.

As to the multiverse fantasies of the theoretical physics community, they are no more related to physical reality than is creation theory. Those multiverses, as the author admits, have nothing to do with empirical reality; those multiverses only exist between the ears of the people who choose to believe in them.

The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics is just a lazy philosophical attempt to elide the shortcoming of the QM math that cannot predict the outcome of individual experiments. String Theory is just some math based on an unprovable conjecture about undetectable vibrating strings which has produced over its half-century of existence not one meaningful scientific insight. The multiverses of the theoretical physics community are junk science.
