Yeah, I understand that, but what I mean is where does the universe on the
right exist, without intruding on the universe on the left. If they
inhabit entirely different points of space /outside/ our own universe,
then I can see that it could exist, but then there would be the problem
of moving this "new" universe through massive ammounts of space in an
infintesimal space of time (excuse the phrasing :). Therefore the only
other option is for the new universe to co-exist within the same space
as the old universe. If all dimensions interact (like space-time for example)
then surely there would be no way to separate matter from our dimension and
matter from another.

There are other problems I can see with the MWH that seem to break standard
theories on matter and energy. Niether matter nor energy may be created or
destroyed. Therefore why should another you suddenly begin to exist due to
a quantum event (I'm still fuzzy on what that is defined as, can anyone fill
me in?)?

I hope the point I made is clear enough, as on re-reading, I'm not sure I've
said enough, but I really can't think of anything else to say which would
not be repetition.
