Especially since they're so scattered. Like if someone made a wish, wouldn't they all show up in one place? It's not like they're all even being deposited where they died.
I'm Fred Burkle and I, too, am very familiar with "multiverse" shit. I'm very familiar with string theory and supersymmetry. Supersymmetry is a theoretical physics principle that proposes a fundamental symmetry between two types of particles: fermions (matter particles) and bosons (force-carrying particles). It suggests that for every known particle, there exists a "superpartner" with different spin properties. For example, a fermion would have a bosonic superpartner, and a boson would have a fermionic superpartner. All that's to say, it holds up the idea that we all have someone else out there like us, or even a world like this one.
But there really are a vast and diverse set of worlds out there. Some might even call them infinite.
I know this one, too. So, imagine there's a world with only shrimp, or a world without shrimp. And, taken even further, just imagine someone makes just one wish. And that wish's different spins a whole different universe off of it. I knew someone once who had this power.
Does Peace count as its' own world since it sounds like someone us were pulled from it? And, does that mean we're not dead there? Just...trying to follow.
[God bless superspeed because it allows Barry to go up and reread the chat before coming back down and reading the pile of new messages responding to him and he cracks his knuckles and lets the fastest thumbs alive go to work.]
Actually @ fred and @ buffy are probably the closest to what we believe current multiverse theory to be. Alternate worlds are created as choices are made by the people in existing worlds so arguably for every choice you make, there's an alternate world where the opposite choice is made. So in the case of Buffy's shrimp example there's a world where nothing evolved past shrimp, but there's also a world where crustaceans never became shrimp.
Which isn't to say that higher beings don't have a role in them (@ dean, @ jack). About twenty years ago, there was a mass culling of alternate worlds brought on by one such being, and it's possible that there are those out there that create them as well, but they also just form and collapse naturally through normal every day entropy.
It's so funny that you mention supersymmetry actually because there's this great paper on Supersymmetry and P-dimensional Subspace that was really foundational to what is currently prevailing multiverse theory today and WAIT
Your paper on P-dimensional Subspace really helped my research partner and I contextualize so much of our practical multiverse experience and I would absolutely love to pick your brain on some of the findings we've made since that was published and ...
[And then almost as though he hears Oliver's heavy sigh going "Barry." in the back of his mind.]
... and this is important but not what everyone is here to talk about so I will sidebar with you later.

We've also been dropped into different other universes before, the past, and the future and there's a book series about us that's a longer story.
Source of that series is powerless somewhere.

You create any universes lately? Or, fulfill any wishes? Or... I don't even know a third option?

Chuck abolished all of his other universes he preoccupied himself with. And I'm not looking to create any any time soon.
Hope this helps!

I get that this is a thing right now, but can all of you move to all your little side chats? It's very early and some of us are trying to sleep.
Never mind. I'm just muting you all.
No experience with "multiverse shit," someone else can explain Malivore.
