anything scientific ... about other universes

I'm always amazed at what can be learned once somebody looks at the problem 'from the right angle'. There is a lot of mathematics that can be applied to the problem, and one of the math areas to be considered is that of constraints. It is essentially statistical, but it simple terms it is much less likely that a system has only one way of being. That is a very tight constraint. It is much easier for a system to be one incarnation of many possibilities because then there is much less constraint on the possibilities.

This is the basis for Einstein's belief that cause-effect is the most important relationship in the universe. If there is only one path from cause to effect, then there is no difference between cause and effect (except for which point on the timeline they occur). If you run that equivalence back to it's ultimate end, there is only one event in the whole universe, that is to say it is all fate and predestiny. There is only one chance out of an infinity that a single fate describes the entirety of the universe.
