Scientists don't sit in their studies dreaming up more and more bizarre
ideas for no good reason.
The problem is that nature itself keeps throwing up results of
experiments that just don't fit with any notion of common-sense.
The theory of relativity, for example, arose as way to understand
unexpected results when measuring the speed of light, together with
other results in electromagnetism.
Quantum mechanics was needed to address things like the amount and
colour of light radiated from hot objects, and the fact that things that
had previously apparently been definitively determined to be waves could
display particle like behaviours, and vice versa.
Quantum mechanics then made predictions about how certain measurements
are correlated, even though the level correlation was troublesome when
the theory of relativity is taken into acount, but those measurements
were found to match the predictions.
At that point one starts to tear one's hair out, screaming "What the
hell is going on? How can the universe be like that?"
The Multiverse is juse one of a number of possible answers, none of
which is in the least bit in accord with any commonsense view of how
things are, but is at least not quite as outlandish as the others.
(Would you prefer "nothing is real - everything is just a probability"?)
It would be nice to have a simple straightforward model of what's
happening, but none has been found that's capable of explaining the
experimental results. And since everything we observe during our day is
in some sense an experimental result, it means that there is no simple
straightfoward model of the world we live in.
Scientists certainly didn't choose this outcome - they just found it.
It's a bummer, for sure, but that's where we are at.
