No, the multiple universes suggestion isn't theoretical, it's a giant change from the direction of 20th century science. You have no idea, and you are just speculating with no evidence whatsoever. Isn't that what you said I was doing?
Now you are coming to important things. Small changes in parameters of the Laws of our Universe, but without changing the Laws themselves, always lead to big and important changes in the Universe itself. Most of these eliminate the possibility of life as we know it. You are then left with the Weak Anthropic Principle that the Universe is the way it is because we are here, which doesn't really explain anything. OR to avoid the Strong Anthropic Principle you have to postulate gazillions of universes, each with their own Laws of Nature, and we obviously just happen to live in the only one that supports us. Reductionist science enters a new phase, one which they are very uncomfortable with.
I thought our Universe was supposed to be an accident, nothing but a big quantum fluctuation, and its creation was inevitable according to some of the scientists you worship. So how come you think I would have to be powerful to create my own Universe? Are you saying I would have to be a God to create it?
