In some sense, this universe is all we know, and even then, we can only directly study about 5% of it, leaving 95% a mystery that scientists are actively working to solve. However, this group of physicists is arguing that our universe isn\u2019t alone; it\u2019s just one in a long line of universes that are born, grow, and die. Among these scientists is mathematical physicist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maths.ox.ac.uk\/people\/roger.penrose\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" aria-label=\"Roger Penrose\">Roger Penrose<\/a>, who worked closely with Stephen Hawking and currently is the Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University.
