Meanings

1. The hypothetical set of manifold possible universes parallel to our own; multiverse.
   • Musings. [The world] is neither a universe pure and simple nor a manyverse pure and simple. 2003, Phillip Hoffmann, Nothing So Absurd: An Invitation to Philosophy:
   • What is meant by this is that this is a universe and not a diverse or a maniverse and that what appears to be separate and contradictory is so only in appearance and not in reality. One Purpose underlies and interpenetrates all existence. 1909, Bolton Hall, Life, and love and peace:
   • Then there is the title `multiverse'. In actual fact, this book is about the Anthropic principal and new theories of the big bang(s) and whole manyverse beyond our Observable Universe that might exist. 2011, The Kob, Amazon.co.uk: Customer Reviews
