Correct me if I am wrong, but from what I understand, the multiverse is not observable directly or indirectly. Thus it is not scientifically falsifiable by virtue of not being observable.

There are a few circumstances that lend themselves to observation, such as looking for characteristic concentric circles in the CMB, but they’ve never been observed. Beyond the few limited cases, you’re right it’s not observable even in principle.
