More than all the universes.

I think generally some physicists are open to the idea of other worlds, but few would say it is necessary to have a universe for every possible universe that can exist. But what are the implications of having more universes that 2 or more universes are exactly identical to one another? Would this be mathematically useless when trying to make the universe seem balanced?

what is beyond the universe? a multiverse? what is beyond that? the omniverse? what is beyond that?

Who's to say our entire observable universe is really anything but a three inch petri dish in some alien stoner's college dorm he made for a project and forgot about because he got high. You wouldn't know. So why do some act like they do?

None. Probability is a notion having arisen by observation and ideation in this universe.

Reply to tim wood Oh yes, the good friar got the lex parsimoniae from other men of the cloth to minimize the obfuscations of conceptual realism. No doubt a corollarial remnant of the via negativa. :pray:

What do you mean by "mathematically useless" ? Why should a multiverse be "useful" or "balanced" ? Useful (or useless) to whom ?

14 000 605 possible outcomes? How can he be ahead of the future while being part of the present?

Good question! Sc-fi ring any bells?

Still unclear on how the Ancient One knew Strange would be the best of all of them despite not being able to see past her own death.

I assume those that mathematically try to calculate how many different worlds there are require a balance as there needs to be balances in each world.

Not magic but plain Sherlock Holmesian deduction. The Ancient One knew they kind of person Dr. Strange was (haughty, abrasive, (over) confident, etc.) and deduced all the mistakes he would make in his life before magic and after magic. Ironic isn't it, that Dr. Strange was chosen for his flaws & errors rather than his goodness and ability to do the right thing.

Deduction, logic in a broader sense, trumps clairvoyance. There's an old Buddhist story about that. Look it up.
