Kinda like the holy ghost, only more scientifical.
Fine - but is it less likely than the assumed state?
I don't know what it would change, if anything, in physics, but I have never heard anyone even propose such a thing and I have to wonder why it isn't mentioned as a possiblity.
Whilst it is a harder to understand approach within the universe it does make the idea of the multiverse easier to get to grips with.
