+1 to Chris Sunami. Agree 100%. Poor Yorick's comment agrees, and so do I. (Look up the multiverse trope on TVTropes.)

There are a few ways to go about it, but essentially do so straight away in some way or other.

I might play with an epigraph at beginning:

The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space. -Carl Sagan

or

Inflation is continuous and eternal, with big bangs happening all the time, with universes sprouting from other universes. -Michio Kaku

And let the reader enter the story with that sort of frame.
