Localized Big Bang

Greetings and Salutations:

I read some articles on the Big Bang, and I am sure that this
question
has been asked before but I really didn't see an answer specific to
my
question.

My question is why is "The Universe" made up of just "our" Big Bang?
I
realize that time / the Universe really doesn't exist without matter
and
energy, and that the "Big Bang" made up our universe, but couldn't
there
be another "Big Bang" universe next door (if you will)?

The analogy is that our galaxy is not the only galaxy, that there are
other galaxies "next door" to ours.

Thank you,
Ken
