@drbecky_s: Do you know the difference between galaxy vs Galaxy and universe vs Universe? Because to an astrophysicist, that one capital letter separates our home from every other island of stars in existence... #Science #Astronomy #scitok #galaxy #universe

Galaxy can also refer to a chocolate bar, you should use Milky Way to avoid confusion.

why not just use Milky Way instead of Galaxy and should we give our Universe a name like Pete or Dave in the event we prove strong theory and multiple universes

The multiverse is real. Proof of that can come from thinking the word into existence. I got tired of thinking of a universe in a set of parallel universes, because that really becomes a lot to say for the group of things when thinking about what can have an effect on that group. The word spontaneously erupted into our own history, before it could even be uttered. Whoever is traveling throughout time in the multiverse is talking about the multiverse with no care for when the word arrived in history. In theory, someone could find the time traveler by finding where the word first came in history. In my original history, it wasn’t a word. They didn’t know what to call it. It seemed ignorant that they would replace uni- with multi-. It’s such a natural change of the Greek prefix that it would go past everyone that anyone actually made it up. I never actually got the chance to slip past everyone. “Technically”, I didn’t make it up.
