Unless this was very recently, I'm not aware of anybody that actually buys the "many worlds" multiverse outside theoretical thought experiments.

Currently, we may be in a multiverse, but all that means is that the universes are just bubbles and others outside of our own would exist. Completely unique and not a branched reality.

there is no "may" about it, it's obvious. but, what do we even call our universe? things in space that are, say 100 billion light years away, physically, are not inside our universe by any definition.

how many stars are in a galaxy? how many bubbles are in boiling water? we don't know exactly, but one gets the idea that there are a shitton of stars. the model that makes the most sense is a super-universe that is very large. inside there is ball of ultra-dense energy (as compacted as energy can physically become: almost every single "bit" will be "on") that creates solar-flare like phenomena we call the observable universe. these bubbles expand and fly through super-space, a place that is probably/maybe similar to an empty vacuum. time progresses linearly because of the inertia of the initial expansion, just like a rock would fly through empty space forever.
