“Another competing multiverse theory that many physicists believe says that if the universe is indeed infinitely big, with hundreds of billions of galaxies with trillions and trillions of stars in a vast cosmos that is unimaginably large, there are only so many configurations that a finite number of matter particles can take before these arrangements begin repeating themselves. Eventually, even complex configurations of particles, including entire solar systems and galaxies, must repeat themselves. Supporters of this theory claim there is a strong probability there must be another you in a faraway corner of space, because the universe is that large.”
