It's not science.
Science involves formulation of models which make risky and falsifiable predictions. Those predictions become hypotheses in experiments. Experiments are conducted, duplicated, and we look for any evidence the predictions are falsified.
This woo woo about multiple universes, strings, and other such nonsense is not real science. It makes no experimentally verifiable predictions. They engage in what is nothing more than very math-intensive metaphysics.
Fortunately, Europe still has a real physics community working on the latest particle physics and actually solving real scientific problems. Hope is not all lost.
But, in general, most of the sciences are compromised now. We are living in a kind of dark age.
