Scientific Research - Multiverse
There is a concept that suggests that there could be other universes besides our own, where all the choices you made in this life played out in alternate realities. This concept is known as a "parallel universe" and is a side of the astronomical theory of the multiverse. There is a lot of evidence that supports the theory of multiverse. 
Around 13.7 billion years ago, everything we know of in the cosmos was a tiny singularity. Then, according to the Big Bang theory, some unknown trigger caused it to expand and become a three-dimensional space. As the immense energy of this initial expansion cooled, light began to shine through. Eventually, the small particles began to form into the larger pieces of matter we know today, such as galaxies, stars and planets.

Are we the only universe out there?
According to a 2012 Space.com article, there are at least 5 theories that could explain why the multiverse is possible. 
1. Infinite universes - Because we don’t know the shape of space-time, one theory is that is is flat and can go on forever which would make it possible that there are many universes out there. With knowing this, it is also possible that universes can start repeating themselves because particles can only be put together in so many ways.

2. Bubble universes - Another theory for multiple universes comes from "eternal inflation" which is a hypothetical inflationary universe model, which is itself an outgrowth or extension of the Big Bang theory. Based on research from cosmologist Alexander Vilenkin, when looking at space-time as a whole, some areas of space stop inflating like the Big Bang inflated our own universe. Others, however, will keep getting larger. So if we picture our own universe as a bubble, it is sitting in a network of bubble universes of space. What's interesting about this theory is the other universes could have very different laws of physics than our own, since they are not linked.

3. Daughter universes - This theory suggests that for every outcome that could come from one of your decisions, there would be a range of universes — each of which saw one outcome come to be. So in one universe, you took that flight to China; in another, perhaps you were on your way and your plane landed somewhere different, and you decided to stay. And so on. 
4. Mathematical universes - Another possible avenue is exploring mathematical universes, which explain that the structure of mathematics may change depending in which universe you reside. "A mathematical structure is something that you can describe in a way that's completely independent of human baggage," said theory-proposer Max Tegmark of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as quoted in the 2012 article. "I really believe that there is this universe out there that can exist independently of me that would continue to exist even if there were no humans."

5. Parallel universes - Going back to the idea that space-time is flat, the number of possible particle configurations in multiple universes would be limited to 10^10^122 distinct possibilities, to be exact. So, with an infinite number of cosmic patches, the particle arrangements within them must repeat — infinitely many times over. This means there are infinitely many "parallel universes": cosmic patches exactly the same as ours (containing someone exactly like you), as well as patches that differ by just one particle's position, patches that differ by two particles' positions, and so on down to patches that are totally different from ours.
