Nginikeze uhlu olufushane olunezinhlamvu lwamaphuzu ayisihluthulelo ngokuphathelene nezindawo ezifanayo kule ndima.
Context:I - multiverse iyiqembu elicatshangelwayo lezinto eziningi. Kucatshangwa ukuthi lezi zindikimba zendawo yonke zihlanganisa konke okukhona: indawo yonke, isikhathi, izinto, amandla, ukwaziswa, nemithetho yemvelo kanye nezimo ezingaguquki ezizichazayo. Amazulu ahlukahlukene angaphakathi kwe-multiverse abizwa ngokuthi "ama-parallel universes", "amanye ama-universes", "ama-alternate universes", noma "amazwe amaningi". Omunye umbono ovamile uwukuthi i-multiverse "iyindwangu ehlanganisiwe yama-universe ahlukene ahambisana nemithetho efanayo ye-physics". Umqondo wamazulu amaningi, noma i-multiverse, uye waxoxwa ngawo kuwo wonke umlando, owaqala ngefilosofi yamaGreki asendulo. Kuye kwashintsha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi futhi kuye kwaxoxwa ngakho emikhakheni ehlukahlukene, kuhlanganise nesayensi yezinto ezisemkhathini, isayensi yezinto zemvelo, nefilosofi. Abanye ososayensi bathi i-multiverse ingumqondo wefilosofi kunokuqagela kwesayensi, njengoba ingeke iphikiswe ngokomlando. Eminyakeni yamuva, kuye kwaba nabasekeli nabagxeki bemibono ye-multiverse ngaphakathi komphakathi wezesayensi. Nakuba abanye ososayensi beye bahlaziya ukwaziswa befuna ubufakazi bokuthi kunezinye izulu nomhlaba, abukho ubufakazi obuphawulekayo ngokwezibalo obuye batholakala. Abagxeki bathi umqondo we-multiverse awunawo amandla okuhlola nawokufakazela ubuqiniso, okuyizinto ezibalulekile ekuphenyweni kwesayensi, nokuthi kuphakamisa izinkinga ze-metaphysical ezingaxazululwanga.
Nansi uhlu olufushane olunezinhlamvu lwamaphuzu ayisihluthulelo ngokuphathelene "namazulu nomhlaba ahambisanayo" ("amazulu nomhlaba amaningi", "amanye amazulu nomhlaba", "amazulu nomhlaba okuziphendukelayo", noma "amazwe amaningi"):  - Liyiqembu elicatshangelwayo lezinto eziningi ezisemkhathini okucatshangwa ukuthi zihlanganisa indawo yonke, isikhathi, izinto, amandla, ukwaziswa, nemithetho yemvelo nezingqikithi ezizichazayo.  - Kuye kwaba isihloko sezingxoxo-mpikiswano emkhakheni we-cosmology, we-physics, nowefilosofi.  - Abanye baphikisa ngokuthi umqondo "wemihlaba ehambisanayo" awunawo amandla okuhlola nawokufakazela amanga, ngakho-ke uwumqondo wefilosofi kunokuqagela okungokwesayensi.
