2. The so-called "multiverse" theory which says that any time any decision is made, the universe "branches" and two entirely new universes go forward, one in which the decision went one way, and one in which it went the other.
But how do we know even if the universe is really there or just in our mind and springs into "being" only when we look to see if it is there? If that is the case the the whole concept of past & future are meaningless since there really isn't even a "present".
