"Everything that exists anywhere".
Now if you have an alternate description it had better be:
1) As pithy as the above.
2) Be very brief.
5) Make sense.
3) Not involve hideously complex mathematics.
4) Or, be highly entertaining, as in some new age woo interpretations.
Regarding no 3. Yes I do understand the various multiverse theories are at base, mathematical constructs.
But fuck off anyway!
How about, 'Everything that exists'? ( 'anywhere' is redundant)

Ah no. That would open the door for the mystics to insert mystic shit; ie, what about things that exist in our thoughts and things that science cannot yet detect? That sort of pesh. 'Anywhere' covers everything.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
