According the the Multiverse Theory, our universe exists as a bubble among a plane of countless other universes, though that's not the limit to how many there are.
This plane, which contains many universes, is just a bubble itself, floating in a sea of other bubbles. This sea is just a bubble, too, on a plane of other bubbles, each containing planes, seas, bubbles, planes, and bubbles.
According the the Multiverse Theory, there are an infinite number of other universes.
theory of relativityAlbert Einstein had many theories, but his most famous was the theory of relativity, E=MC2.
In a universe model, the term 'where' in context of a singularity has no meaning. Our understanding of spacial geometry, which we use to estimate where we are, depends upon our positional relationship to our known universe. But if the universe is infinitessimally small, then there is no measurement of position, because everything is in the same place..In a multiverse model, in which there are several universes coexisting in adjacent parcels of space at the same time, then the term 'where' is definable, but not measurable. In this case, we could say that the singularity is so many billion/trillion/quadrillion light years from the next closest universe, but we have no means of measuring distances that large.
Einstein had many theories, but the best known was theory of relativity.
Still now the most acceptable theory on the origin of universe has been the big bang theory. you can get more info on big bang theory from wikipedia.

Multiverse ;)
According to quantum theory, and many other theories, and scientists, there may actually be a multiverse. A multiverse is just what it sounds like - multiple universes. However, there is no proof of multiverses right now, so the only facts we have is that there is only one universe.
3, or perhaps more. It depends on the theory to which you ascribe. For example, recent research done at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) led to the creation of ekpyrotic theory. According to ekpyrotic theory, our universe and its creation stems from the collision of two "branes" that could theoretically and literally represent parallel universes. According to Julian Barbour, an infinite number of parallel universes exist, since every time a decision is made on either the microscopic or macroscopic level, a bifurcation is created leading to the birth of a new "universe". Long answer short, minimally 2 parallel universes, maximally infinit.
The concept of parallel universes in the multiverse is theoretical and not quantifiable in terms of a specific number of dots. The idea of parallel universes suggests an infinite or unknown number of alternate realities existing alongside our own universe.
Maybe, it depends on whether or not one of the multiverse compatible theories of everything are correct. The theory that currently has the most support is M-Theory. According to M-Theory our universe is just one membrane among many. So not two, but many more than one.
Well, there is a formula to figure out how many combinations of universes there would be that fit in the size of the observable universe. The formula is spacetimeatoms*elements and by working this out you would get 10 to the 225 power, factorial.
"Who" depends on your intent for the subject, "many bang theory." Since there is not a named theory known as the "many bang theory," the question provide for multiple probabilities. There are two obvious considerations for multiple Big Bangs: i.e. the Oscillating Universe Theory and the Multiverse hypothesis. While the Oscillating Universe Theory provides for more of a linear view of the possibility for multiple universes, the Multiverse hypothesis provides for more of a parallel view of the possibilities for multiple universe. The oscillatory universe theory is a hypothesis credited to Richard Tolman who saw it as a possible outcome of the Big Bang. When it is stated as credited, it should be known that the oscillating universe theory was briefly considered by Albert Einstein in 1930 in which he theorized a universe following an eternal series of oscillations, each beginning with a Big Bang and ending with a Big Crunch. However, the work by Richard C. Tolman in 1934 showed that there was a problem with Einstein's calculations; i.e. according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, entropy can only increase for this linear view of multiple universes. This concept therefore implied that successive cycles grow longer and larger, and it became the first successfully feasible description for an oscillatory universe. The multiverse is the hypothetical set of multiple possible universes. The term was coined in 1895 by the American philosopher and psychologist William James. The concept promoted that these various universes within the multiverse, sometimes called parallel universes, would together comprise everything that exists and can exist: the entirety of space, time, matter, and energy as well as the physical laws and constants that describe them. Thus the first conciliation that our defined "universe at large" was not just including our traditional fourth dimensional existence (i.e. the reality that we call our universe), but rather a multiple consideration for a universal medium with many such realities: e.g."alternative universes", "quantum universes", "interpenetrating dimensions", "parallel dimensions", "parallel worlds", "alternative realities", "alternative timelines", and "dimensional planes," among others.
The Oscillatory Universe is one of many cyclic cosmological model which promote the recycling of the Big Bang model upon a Big Crunch. However there is also the varied Multiverse hypotheses which promote the consideration of parallel universes existing uniquely independent of our universe.
There is insufficient information at this time to answer this question; many varying and conflicting theories and hypotheses exist, however, many of these even vary among interpretation (for example, the unified 'fundamental theory of physics,' m-theory, can be interpreted to call for infinite universes, or a seemingly arbitrary but set number). The word universeetymologically implies only one, which has led to the term 'multiverse' to refer to a collection of universes. This, however, deals with very theoretical branches of theoretical physics, and is so subject to interpretation it can hardly be called science more than 'educated guesswork.'
The idea of multiple universes is, like many other things, a theory. It could be true, it could not.

The universe certainly encompasses a lot of space, certainly all of known space and our galaxy. Many physicists think that our universe is all there is. However, a fair number of physicists also believe in the multiverse theory which states that there are many universes each with separate laws of physics. Therefore, for all practical reasons there is only one universe. Yet, there are still many highly qualified people who ould say that there are many universes out there each with there own "space."
