The theory of multiverses has nothing to do with multi-tasking in poem-writing (What a thought!). It is rather the theory that many universes co-exist at once. Why has our universe three dimensions? Why can it not exhibit the qualities of five, or a hundred?
Naturally, the physical realities of living in a multi-dimensional space seem overwhelming, unless of course one does so, in which case such a reality would appear normal in most respects. 'Physical' objects might not be even recognisable as matter as we know it, and what of time - would everything appear without tense, past and future indistinguishable from present? If every object appeared and disappeared at will, there would be no noticeable transit; everything would simply be.
String Theory calculations indicate that in order for a three-dimensional universe to play-out, no fewer than nine actual dimensions need to exist. The three observable dimensions being extrusions of a larger group whose members remain entangled.
Perhaps somewhere, now, someone like you, or me, is reading or writing about the possibilities of an existence outside our known experience. Perhaps the cup of coffee you are making is made again and again in an infinite pattern, where we have all disappeared into other realities and returned again, moving between seconds, between the ghosts of seconds.
