    There's a difference between possible universes and theoretically extant parallel universes through multiverse theory. Possible universes are an exploratory tool used in logic and philosophy. The Multiverse is a theoretical physics concept. The crossover is in Cosmology, but the purpose there is to find something, like possible anomalies in spacetime, or the size of things. There are infinitely many possible universes if the range of variables you permit is infinite, which makes your question seem to me more speculative than defined.

    I find it very unfortunate and annoying that Neil DeGrasse Tyson has such disregard and ostensibly disrespect for religious adherents even though his main subjects of interest, space and scientific advancement, are fundamentally irrelevant to one's religious beliefs. For this reason I haven't watched Cosmos, even though it probably would be very interesting (minus the metaphysics I disagree with).

    They told me I was going to be very comfortable on a picnic table. Which was good because that's where I was eating the cookie. How very prescient of that pastry.

    Whenever someone brings up the idea of travelling into the past, I always think "well they haven't prohibited me from retaining modern knowledge in this state" so I would obviously just become a wiseguy and "invent" a crapload of things and have them named after me. 400BC? That means I could coin every level of mathematics after Pythagoras, which would include basic versions of limits and calculus. Physics, I could invent thermodynamics, pre-Bohric atomic theory, anticipate probabilistic microscopy, heliocentricism, engine cycles, kinetic theory, the big bang, doppler shift and the speed of sound. Not sure about electricity, not enough cheap copper in the world yet. Since the thing I'd find a most dire need immidiately is civil infrastructure, I'd put myself in the position of inventing engineering rather than any specific kind of science. Mostly because at the time it was a terrifying affair to poop in the 4th century. Sewage management was idiotic everywhere in the world until the 18th century.

    One of the things that bothered me about the DeLorean time machine was the random speed over the Earth's surface. If speed was important relative to the earth's motion, 88mph is effectively no different from holding still in comparison to a measly celestial speed like the Earth's local axial rotation. Relative speeds get worse and worse the more general you get, until one factors in that the Milky way is moving away from other galaxies at a nominal fraction of the speed of light. Which means unless the DeLorean had a magically giga-powerful supercomputer that could do finite-state n-body gravity simulation, teleporting to any point other than the present would result in tumbling off into space, watching the Earth arc away from you at a tremendous velocity. That, or arriving as if you teleported below the crust and mantle.

    There are presently two main camps in the Philosophy of Time, which are given the arbitrary labels "A", and "B". A-theory says that the past and future do not exist; the future is just a soup of unwritten potential that cannot be explored except through the progression of the present. The present "writes" information into history in the form of scars, marks, movements, momentum and other artifacts in spacetime which we can explore, but the past itself is not a physical domain which can be traveled to. B-theory says that all points in time, past, present and future exist in their own way, and that we can only perceive the present, which is an infinitely brief transition of when the future becomes the past. This view facilitates determinism easily, but is fraught with problems connected to other aspects of philosophy of mind and cosmology. For example, causation becomes a nightmare to explore, rather than being a straightforward chain. Neither of these have any connection to Multiverse theory because M-theory is a matter of theoretical mathematics with connection to cosmology, not philosophy of time. And so far there has yet to be an indication that time could ever go backwards. To attempt that logic betrays a misunderstanding about physics on the same level as misunderstanding the Laws of Thermodynamics.

    Magic spells emulated through technology have led to a new era of science and exploration, especially since engineers figured out how to synthetically duplicate teleportation spells. [Aerith] and [bob] are prospective entrants to the competitive and confusing Wizard Astronauts Academy. They each hope to become the first explorers on another star system.
