Is Multiverse the ultimate sci-fi?

[jake jot]

Multiverse is about other universes with all kinds of laws of nature. This means all science fiction ideas or scenerios can play out or exist to some extent, like Harry Potter. Hence anything fantasy or science fiction you can think of is overtaken by this Multiverse concept believed by physicists.

What else can beat it?

What movies has concepts about Multiverse (besides the One, and Sliders)?

Heinlein's 'Number of the Beast' beat them all.

hate the cliche of the alternate universe where everything is exactly the same except the Roman Empire never fell or the South won the Civil War or I had fish instead of chicken for dinner last night

Not sure what you mean by 'Ultimate Sci-Fi' but either the multiverse exists as having spawned from another and therefore is the same or they are all with different (randomly generated) physics. Take your pick if you are writing a piece of fiction. Real physicists resort to pushing the bounds of knowledge to try and see a way forward with theory (what other way is there!). We all have a different idea about the boundary between what could be real and pure fantasy.

...anything fantasy or science fiction you can think of is overtaken by this Multiverse concept...

As I take it it's not anything 'ultimate' in a sense of 'anything good'. It's like God Mode in a game: you are free to do anything. While it sounds good for first, actually it means you are left hanging in a void, without any references. It's not freedom, but a kind of ultimate temptation of laziness... 😰

By my opinion if you can't cook up good technobabble to solve a problem in a sci-fi story then you should just quit, instead of bringing in such a 'god mode' as any 'multiverse'.

Multiverse has no mathematical theory.

Multiverses are too messy. Marvel is just so convoluted I feel like how Rick Sanchez views the multiverse- indifferent. Hopefully they will never make a Star Wars multiverse.
