Chary’s study could be a relevant advance for the cosmic inflation theory. Alternatively, Chary stated that he is aware of that uncommon claims require various proof.

Nonetheless, the possibility that the evidence of a parallel universe may have been spied in space is tantalizing, no matter how preliminary.
Chary said that the fluctuating glow he found could be matter from a neighboring universe “leaking” into our universe, according to New Scientist magazine, adding that such a multiverse could be the effect of cosmic inflation, which theorizes that the early universe expanded exponentially in the slimmest fraction of a second after the Big Bang. Nothing should’ve remained but noise, except something was there: a unusual glow. He found that certain patches of the sky appeared to be brighter than they should have been.
The cosmic background features bursts of ancient light, revealing the radiation signatures of the universe just a few hundred thousand years after the Big Bang.
Scientists have also confirmed that the patches bear signs of coming from an era they call recombination.
Our universe as we know it today could be just a “region within an eternally inflating super-region”, said a cosmologist from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).
He says, “Many other regions beyond our observable universe would exist with each such region governed by a different set of physical parameters than the ones we have measured for our universe”.
Furthermore, Jay Pasachoff, chair of the astronomy department at Williams College, affirmed that Chary’s observations in the cosmic radiation had many other possible explanations and that it still is too early to explain the phenomenon with a multiverse theory.
Multiverse theorists argue that the continuous expansion of the universe has produced various pockets of energy which ended up expanding at a much faster rate and created several other pocket universes of their own.
Of course, “here” means “the entire universe”, and we’re talking about hunting for subatomic particles, so it would take a good long while to find them.
Instead, perhaps this is the first real evidence of the multiverse theory, he wrote.
The glow, his research suggests, is the result of what RT.com describes as “cosmic fist-bumps” caused by our universe ramming into another (or vice versa). Something 4,500 times brighter in CMB than it should be?
Spots of light detected by Chary “is one of the fingerprints of our own universe”.

This tentative evidence of a parallel universe will be hard to verify, and Chary admitted that there’s a 30 percent chance that what he saw isn’t evidence of anything at all, just normal fluctuations.
