Meanings

  1. 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. 1998 [1997], David Deutsch, The Fabric of Reality, New York: Penguin Books, →ISBN, page 202:
  2. The universe of an alternative history.
