No it doesn't. Everything is governed by the rules of natural law. Nothing which violates those rules can exist. Natural law is constant throughout the universe.

There is most probably a multiverse. However, it is unlikely that we can test this by experimentation.

But less to learn that others. Which is why I can state that souls do not exist whereas others have yet to learn that souls do not exist.

Not knowing everything does not mean that we cannot know that souls do not exist.

Like I've already pointed out in this thread, there is no reason whatsoever for us to suspect that they is anything after death.
