parallel universe
noun parallel universes
-
A universe that exists separately alongside another universe, as part of a multiverse.
Subjectively we perceive this as a single, unpredictable or ‘random’ outcome, though from the multiverse point of view all the outcomes have actually happened. This parallel-universe multiplicity is the real reason for the unpredictability of the weather.
Similar: parallel world
