Is there any reason for them to believe this might be true?

As in an alternate reality, where you didn't start this discussion?
I wish I was living in that one.

Alternate, parallel OR both?

Alternate, parallel OR both? Parallel, I guess. EVEN IF some scientists do believe in either OR both...I think more science-fiction authors do so.

Is there any reason for them to believe this might be true? Because many scientists are mathematical Platonists to some degree and sometimes interpret the referents of their equations as real entities rather than just mathematical artifacts.
You can hardly blame them, because sometimes that turned out to be the correct move to make. The guy who discovered quarks originally thought that quarks were just an artifact of the mathematical techniques he was using, but later we discovered that they were real and could be detected indirectly. The same cannot be said for parallel universes.

Wishful thinking from their comics reading in their youth.
