   That's why it's called THE Multiverse instead of "The Multiple   
   Universes."   
      
   The term "Multiverse" is only necessary because people are   
   excessively trained, cannot see beyond what they were told   
   to believe.   
      
   There's only one universe but it's in all potential states.   
   As I've said in the past, and you have to remember, it's   
   very easy to conceptualize time as all happening at once,   
   with us merely recognizing/experiencing a linear progression.   
      
       ...sort of like how an entire page can be printed all at   
   once, but you read it only one word at a time... sentence to   
   sentence... paragraph to paragraph.   
      
   So, the Multiverse is just one step beyond that.   
      
   Instead of everything happens all at once, all POTENTIAL   
   outcomes happen all at once.

   Because it's not only an Einstein prediction but it's   
   supposedly been experimentally confirmed, more than once.

   You're saying "Universe" and "Multiverse" like they are   
   two different things. They are not. The newer term,   
   "Multiverse," is only necessary to expand your thinking   
   beyond the stale, conventional thoughts that were   
   implanted within you.

   "Sliders" envisions the Multiverse like rooms in a house,   
   each room containing a different universe. The Multiverse   
   is a single universe. We can't perceive it all but, a   
   moth can't even perceive us as we are!

   No.
