Quilted Multiverse
In a Quilted Multiverse, there’s no sharp divide between one parallel universe and another. All are part of a single spatial expanse whose overall qualitative features are similar from region to region. The surprise lies in thendetails. Most of us wouldn’t expect worlds to repeat; most of us wouldn’t expect, every so often, to encounter versions of ourselves, our friends, our families. But if we could journey sufficiently far, that’s what we would find.
- from Brian Greene’s “The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws
of the Cosmos”
