My personal theory, after having taken general relativity, thermodynamics, and e&m coupled with some research on black holes is as follows. For the purposes of this post, the word universe will mean a group of matter and energy that is able to interact. This is an obvious restriction due to the speed of light. The term multiverse will simply mean all matter and energy that exists, whether it can interact or not.

Hawking's radiation is the key to this; it has not yet been directly observed but it has been indirectly proven to exist. Getting into that is beyond the scope of this post, so roll with it for now. At some point, every black hole will dissapate due to this radiation. This will happen when the mass of the black hole is no longer great enough to contain the energy and matter packed into such a small space, and entropy forces this viloent dissapation to occur.

This is a big explosion. Due to the gravitational time dilation of all that mass trapped there (before it explodes it's frozen in time) this process takes a fraction of a second, but if viewed from another universe (but that's not possible, remember) it would take quite a while. The matter and energy is then affected by other black holes, which try to pull it in due to their own gravity, resulting in an expanding universe.

So essentially, infinitely multiple black holes and universes concurrently exist, and matter is merely redistributed through out them due to entropy and hawkings radiation.

Come at me, bro.
