Well, I don't think that he's wrong, but I think that the problem is philosophically more disturbing than what he is confessing.
We don't even know whether the other universes exist in the same space and time that we do.
And there are other physicists who feel that these universes are, even in principle, never, never observable by us.
That we will never be able to have any physical evidence of their existence.
And that possibility is what I find disturbing.
It may be that this is the way nature is.
Well, I mean, it may be that we've done as much explaining as is possible.
In other words, we may have pushed the human mind as far as it can possibly go.
