It seems that I keep running into this concept, mostly on TV, where, in the first instance, it’s in The Flash, and by proxy all the other superheroes like Supergirl, and, more recently, in The Man In The High Castle.

It’s also in His Dark Materials as well, so it’s being used more and more as a storyline.

But…

Is it possible there is a multiverse out there?

Well, there are days when things are going so badly that I wish I was in a place where all those troubles would just go away.

But what if things were worse there?

It’s easy to imagine that things have to be better somewhere other than where we are, but that tends to overlook the reality that, with a little effort, perhaps this universe you’re stuck in could be made better if you tried harder.

That sound darkly philosophical, doesn’t it?

Who knows, maybe one day…
