Physicists create world’s first multiverse of universes in the lab

Researchers at the University of Maryland, College Park and Towson University are reporting that they have created multiple universes inside a laboratory-created multiverse — a world first.

To be exact, the researchers created a metamaterial — like those used to fashion invisibility cloaks — that, when light passes through it, multiple universes are formed within it. These universes, called Minkowski spacetimes, are similar to our own, except they more neatly tie up Einstein’s theory of special relativity by including time as a fourth dimension.

Neat! Some proper science for once.

Okay, this science is way, way, WAY beyond anything that I could comprehend, but, in the context of this experiment, what exactly are "multiple universes?" And how do they KNOW that they have created multiple universes?

Well it's theory that hasen't been proven therefor can't be disproved either.
