Heh, now that I think about it... I'm sure it's been done before but now I really want to make a comic about this XD

This sort of brings out an interesting point about Multiverse theory, the universe and infinity. Lets say someone lives forever and exists for an infinite amount of time, it could be argued that because he does an infinite amount of things, he must therefore do EVERYTHING, but this is not the case! Let us say he turns left at a street where he could of turned right at 12:00pm, 1st of January 2016. Assuming he can't time travel, he'll NEVER be able to turn right at that street at 12:00pm, 1st of January 2016, cause he's already turned left! Sure he can come back and turn right at a different time, but never at that same time and in order to disprove a theory you only need one counter example! In fact, every action he makes at some time, there is an infinite amount of actions that are no longer accessible to him. So even though there is an infinite amount of things he can do, there's an even larger infinite amount of things he can't do as well!

I feel the multiverse theory may follow a similar plot. The multiverse theory basically states that whenever you have a system that is in a superposition of multiple states, when it is observed it'll create a series of universes where each universe collapses that system into one of the possible states where it could collapse. Schrodinger's cat is an example, before we open the box the cat is in the superposition of the dead state and the alive state, once we open the box a universe is created where the cat is dead and one where the cat is alive.  Thus strictly speaking, there is an arbitarily large (but not necessarily infinite) series of universes that each represent a unique possibility of all possible sequences of state measurements. So the multiverse theory doesn't say that there is a universe for every possibility, only for the possibilities that are influenced by different measurements in superimposed states, like quantum states for example. So even if multiverse theory is true, it is not necessarily true that an alternate furry world exists (though, of course, it's still possible!)

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I think that could happen. I believe there could be an infinite amount of universes with different species living among us!

This is true. But not in all universes. In some we may actually be peaceful and have accomplished more. And yes in others we may have obliterated ourselves already, and regrettably in some we may have obliterated both ourselves and our fursonas. There is infinite possibilities when you're given an infinite amount of universes

There isn't necessarily infinite possibilities though, for example, there isn't a universe where someone could travel to our universe and eat all the stars. If there was infinite possibilities, that'd be a paradox because the possibilities would both destroy and guarantee everything happening everywhere, always.

There are many possibilities, but not infinite.

As my above post said there COULD still be an infinite amount of possibilities even if some possibilities are impossible! (Cause of different sizes of infinite and what-not)

But you're still correct that are many possibilities rather than infinite, because of different reasons relating to multiverse theory.

I had a strange thought as well... what if in another universe humans and animal switched places, animals became anthropomorphic, and humans be an the "animals" of their universe, they would keep us as pets, or hunt us for food. Anyway just a weird though I had.

Tell a man there are 300,000,000 stars in the universe, he'll believe you. Tell a man the benches paint is wet, he'd have to touch it to be sure
