Is Our Universe the Average--and ONLY--Universe?

It occurred to me that it might be possible that instead of there being a multiverse, as some argue, that out of the nearly infinite number of POSSIBLE universes, they all began to cancel each other out...until we were left with the one we have.

That is, one possible universe, made entirely of anti-matter, cancelled out the one made entirely of matter. On and on and on...until there was only one possible universe. Ours.

Thoughts?

    Well, obviously there was 1 more matter universe than antimatter universe or we would not exist.

    When matter combines with antimatter both become energy. In our universe, matter can be neither created nor destroyed. All that would happen if a matter universe collided with an antimatter universe is that pure energy would be created from all the matter. I suspect that some of the energy would become either matter or antimatter again. Nothing would be physically destroyed or canceled.

    Our sun is a very average star but nothing can really be said about our universe except that it exists. Nobody knows where all the matter came from and people still don't know what will eventually become of the universe. Our universe is a collection of matter and energy expanding into an infinite void. Nothing exists outside the universe and it creates time and space as it expands.

    meaningless Q Galaxies are collections of Stars close sufficient so they are interior the comparable gravity container made by including all mutually they are scattered throughout yet not uniformly the Universe is all we are able to confirm or make touch with in any actual way there could be a great universe it incredibly is so massive we won't in any respect in any actual way hit upon it there could be a lager foam of multi universes each separate and doubtless distinctive in a Hyper universe of universes. No thank you to inform If a Galaxy is variety of disk formed, not all are, yet many, you may talk of an approximate diameter and thickness. ours seems to be like spinning disk with a lumpy ball center. in all probability a extensive "black hollow" of gravity attracting all the stars to it.

    A Galaxy is an island Universe of its own. and there are one trillion of them ,nerver the less there are contained into a volume which is finite.Such a shape and volume was observed by the first time in history by the Planck telescope as having the shape of an ellipse.

    The physical Universe is a conservative system where the mass ,time and volume follow the laws of conservation.

    We can barely observe and understand the Physical Universe ,let alone Heaven where our Creator is located.

    I find the membrane theory too fantastic. If there are numeros initial conditions (sets of laws) to a early universe perhaps they would be commutative/distributive, so it does not matter which way we follo 1st.. The final condition would be of a single universe as such ours, in the time that it evolved.

    My thought is, if they are, indeed, separate universes (universi?), then they couldn't possibly be in contact with each other - all actions, all matter, all energy in each is self-contained, and neither would be aware of the other.
