> if the universe stretches far enough, everything could happen

This means, I presume, that in an alternative universe, children-like creatures are being boiled alive forever with no hope of dying (since they are immortal), there exists creatures being tortured alive forever, although they have evolved to be a million times more sensitive to pain, and a God-like being exists... the possibilities are truly endless.



If other universe contain all logical possibilities, then yes. David Lewis talks about this and points out the moral issue is that even if you choose to do good things in this universe, in some universe your alternate is a psychopathic torturer, so decisions to do good don't actually lessen universal suffering, if calculated across all alternate universes. I think his conclusion was that it's still desirable to locally decrease suffering anyway.


But, apart from the moral absurdities, there are logical inconsistencies.

In a certain universe, there will exist a God capable of influencing all other universes, and thus constraining the set of possibilities, no?


The gods are sandboxed, so unless they've discovered an escalation vulnerability in the multiverse substrate, they can execute any permutation of possible behavior but never affect the lower layer. If that happens, it's back to "turtles all the way down" as we then try to figure out what's running the multiverse VM.


And yet in another universe there’s a god that controls the other god.
