The multiverse theory looks to me to be a clever way to rationalize the inability of quantum physics to explain how we got here. Here, in the universe we live in.
Even then, since we are talking theory, what if all those other universes also appeared from their own definitions of nothing?

Not at all but we don't know everything, what we do know is able to describe in exquisite detail the universe we do see and String Theory while not predictive does tie 3 of the 4 forces together at high energies, leaving only Gravity as a stand alone force
but
at places like CERN and the Tevetron at Batavia Ill etc there are hints of Physics beyond what we know as the current version of the Standard Model every year new Physics and observation winnows parts of theory and opens new doors, one of the most recent appears to be the absence of naked Neutrinos.
no one knows what came before the Big Bang, but there are hints
If there are other Universes, which may or may not have different Constants, then there is an overlying connection deeper in the Physics to explain them, Such an overarching principal is currently unknown.
