When someone says "multiverse", do you think...?

I think of multiple universes, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it also means something to do with verses in writing or speech or religious text or something like that.

Okay so Uni-verse is a song with only one stanza! ;>)

the latter, minus that repeated human existence caveat.

I think of a song by the band Voivod.

Multipass

Multiverse is #2.*

Multi-verse is #1.

Long live hyphens!

(* Except, I don’t think all of the multiverse repeats all of human experience. I imagine humans and their experiences are only in relatively few slivers of the multiverse.)

I’ve never heard of the word.

@Zaku – I have seen #1 (poems or music) both with and without a hyphen.

Neither. A set of separate universes, yes, but nothing about human existences. That bit’s for novels and the movies.

My concept comes from Neil deGrasse Tyson’s account, filtered through my own very limited understanding.

Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

2 . From d&d

Multiple universes. But possibly none or some that might be like this one with or without humans. Multiple on multiple possibilities!

I tend to think they’re a wanker spewing psychobabble outta their cakehole

@elbanditoroso I think multiverse in poems or music is not correct except under the style of an author or editor who dislikes hyphens and/or doesn’t realize multiverse is an actual world meaning something different. It is an actual English word, meaning a concept of reality where a universe is only a part rather than everything that exists (or possibly where there might be an infinite number of universes).

#2 as from Michael Moorcock’s sci-fi/fantasy books.

I never thought of that first interpretation.

I doubt that all human existence is repeated in each universe, but if there are infinitely many of them, then since there are only a finite (though very large) number of possibilities, all the details of each one are repeated infinitely many times.

The second one though it isn’t concerned with human existence. In most of these hypothetical universes life never even began and humanity doesn’t exist.

Multiple realities at the same time, on different cosmic plains.
Think Marty McFly’s alternate realities for the current time.
