Richard Feynman had a satirical theory that any complex mathematical problem/theory when stated in layman's terms becomes self-evident. This is the perfect example of this.

There's only one universe, QED.

There's only one directly observable universe*

There may be other universes created by whatever mechanism created ours. It is possible also that in some such mechanisms, indirect effects of those universes may be observable.

There's a limit to how much we can hypothesize about the nature of other universes, given we don't know if they actually exist. It'd be foolish to claim "QED" either way.
Since we can't possibly know anything about these universes for all intents and purposes we can say that they don't exist. This QED is more than acceptable.
I actually think what your saying is foolish. There's no "other universes." As I stated there's only one universe. Seems obvious to me.
"further research may be required".
Ask any student of etymology and they'll give a similar answer.
You've made my day haha
