Holger speculates that maybe many Earths and entire stellar universes:
"...occupy the same space at the same time without interacting with each other." (p. 42)
But how could they not interact? Maybe they vibrate at different rates such that Earth 1 exists at time t1 but not a microsecond later at t2 whereas Earth 2 exists at t2 but not at t1 and so on? See Phase, also blog search result for "space jumps."
Does this hypothesis sufficiently explain the multiverse of Poul Anderson's Old Phoenix stories? Or might some of the four-dimensional spatiotemporal continua exist in parallel with each other but separated by a fifth dimension?
As the Rig Veda says:
"That god who sees in highest heaven, he alone knows, or perhaps he knows not."

Well, if there's a multiverse...
