Hi, me again! No, not debating, I really just want an answer - although I concede I suspect that it depends on who you ask (not in a bad way, just that it's not firmly established).
Okay, so the multiverse - is it supposedly existent at all three levels of scale: infinitesimal, macro, infinite? My understanding is that it primarily answers issues at the infinitesimal and just because a quark can have infinite possibilities does not mean the table it belongs to also has infinite possibilities (until the collapse, of course).
Sci Fi operates under the assumption that the multiverse exists at the macro and (probably) the infinite as well. So there is a dimension out there that has Earth populated by blue unicorns who all speak Klingon. Great stories result - but is this a valid representation of the theory?
Thanks in advance!
Oh, and if you want to post links, remember I'm a layman - my days as a physics student were short and long, long ago...
