That's basically a summation of the big-bang theory of the creation of the universe.

Well, no. An infinite number of universes would mean an infinite number of you, an infinite number of monitors that you're looking at, an infinite number of NotesMaeve's cakes, an infinite number of motorcycles in my infinite number of garages (that would be SWEET!)... There wouldn't be room for an infinite number of things or an infinite amount of energy even in an infinite universe.

The number of universes might be massive - in the googlezillions (if that's a number... I figure you get the point) - but it can't be infinite.
