It's the concept that there may be many distinct universes. How these universes interact often differ depending on the precise theory you are talking about.

That is a question that his pondered for many years. Some people wonder if there is an opposite universe where the people would chose to do the opposite of what ever your choice would be in this universe.

I personally don't feel that individuals are puppets like that. Our choices come from within each of us.

As for solar systems... any group of planets or objects that rotate around a star... such as earth around the sun makes up a solar system. There are many solar systems in a galaxy. Many galaxies can be found in a universe.

A universe is said to be all of existence. (FOUND ONLINE)The Universe is everything that physically exists: the entirety of space and time, all forms of matter, energy and momentum, and the physical laws and physical constants that govern them.

According to some speculations, this universe may be one of many disconnected universes, which are collectively denoted as the multiverse. In one theory, there is an infinite variety of universes, each with different values of the physical constants. In another theory, new universes are spawned with every quantum measurement. However, these speculations cannot be tested experimentally since, by definition, other universes cannot interact with our own.

If you do not accept my deffinition of solar system... please refer to NASA at the following website...

NASA - Solar System (http://www.nasa.gov/worldbook/solarsystem_worldbook_update.html)

Sol may be the name for our sun. The term may have been made up as a description of our planetary system of orbit about our sun, but as additional knowledge became available, the same terminology was applied to other systems.

Sol is the Latin name of the Sun, as well as the modern word for "Sun" in the Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Icelandic, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish

No, Sol is the name of our sun. The term "solar" system refers to the planets that revolved around the sun... named at a time when there was no knowledge of additional planets or suns. The term solar system refers to all planets that revove around a sun. The word solar was used as an adjective to describe the systems. "-ar" is a Latin ending added on to the word "sol" which is used to mean sun, not just our star.

The term "Sol system" is the name of our planetary system because of our star being named Sol. There is only one solar system with Sol as the star (or sun), but there are many other solar systems orbiting stars (suns) of other names.

Multiverse is the idea that the Universe is not universal, but rather one of many, perhaps infinitely many universes, that may be floating around in a higher dimension. To understand this, you can think about when you were a kid.

Blowing bubbles was always fun. I remember getting the dish liquid from under the kitchen sink, mixing some with a little bit of water, and whipping out my bubble wand. Most people have had a similar experience – if you're around my age anyway. I don't know if the youth of America actually steps away from the TV, computer, or video game system long enough to blow bubbles, but that's getting off the point. The conceptual image that I am trying to help you cogitate is this: instead of one Universe that is universal, there may be many universes. They are drifting in a higher dimension, much as the soap bubbles float around in the kitchen. In addition, like the bubbles, the universes exist in each other's vicinity, yet, are completely independent from each other. This is the idea of the multiverse.
