Possible Worlds and Causal Closure

Therefore if one commits to the idea that things could actually have been or currently be otherwise, then you must also commit to causal closure.
That seems to be a pretty haughty statement.
Where is the rule book that says no other worlds are possible? What's the reason to believe no other worlds are possible?
