I tend to look upon the big bang (and the universe created by the event) in a variation of Occam's Razor. There is only one way that there could be only one big bang, but there are many, up to an infinity, of ways that there could have been more than one big bang. The odds clearly favor some format that had multiple universes. They don't necessarily have to be simultaneous. The current hypothesis that I consider is a flavor of vacuum genesis. The basic idea is that a big bang happens, a universe unfolds and expands and drifts away, pulled by dark energy. The universe then would be expanding into kind of a meta-universe. As things drift around this meta universe there would occasionally be pockets of extreme vacuum where everything had at least temporarily drifted far from anything else. This does not have to be the site of any previous big bang, it is just a random spot where the movements of stuff have gone somewhere else. When the vacuum get too strong (dark energy pulling from all directions at once) in some tiny spot then the whole fabric of space time is once again ripped into the latest big bang. The insight to consider in this hypothesis is that the big bang is not caused by a great internal energy at a point, but instead ripped from nothing by the dark energy that pulls on spacetime from every corner.
