Succeed and Soar’s first, the 2022 “Words” series explored phrases that could help appreciate and heal human experiences.  The 2025 theme is astronomy.Multiverse, says Merriam-Webster,com, is,”a theoretical reality that includes [an] infinite number of parallel universes.  AI Overview calls multiverse  “a collection of multiple universes that encompasses all of space, time, matter, energy, information, and physical laws.”

• The “Many worlds” concept was introduced by Hugh Everett, who believed the Universe kept “splitting” into different versions of itself.
• “Bubble Universes” suggests that in the first trillionth-trillionth of a second, the universe expanded so fast and was so hot, it broke out of its “inflationary” stage to cool down, become “normal” and expand slower.
• “Shadow” or “Mirror Matter”  universes form from ‘Dark Matter,” see Succeed and Soar’s August 30, 2025 Word Rich post, and could be detected by gravitational pull but never be seen.

Brittanica.com provides much more on multiverse origins and components.

The Interesting Engineering article, “The First-Ever Evidence of the Multiverse,” states that Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson received the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physics for detecting cosmic microwave background radiation, a primordial microwave radiation that fills the universe. CMB also provides “the first direct evidence … of an infinity of worlds and alien peoples that exist beyond the known universe.”

In addition, physicists Anthony Aguirre, Matt Johnson, and Matt Kleban pointed out that “a collision between our bubble universe and another bubble in the multiverse would, in fact, produce an imprint on the cosmic background radiation.”

Yes, our bubble universe is huge. Scientists who’ve measured the visible part suggest it is ninety-three billion light years in diameter and expanding.  As with the universe and multiverses potential, down-to-Earth life can be filled with opportunities. As Neale Donald Walsch said, “Self-creation never ends. You are continually creating yourself from the field of infinite possibilities. You are, in every moment, born again. And so is everyone else.”  Samuel Johnson said, “Our aspirations are our possibilities.” Richard Linklater added, “The trick is to combine your waking rational abilities with the infinite possibilities of your dreams. Because, if you can do that, you can do anything.”
