To avoid possible confusion I should restate my use of terminology.

Universe (with capital U) = all that we can observe and study.

universe ( with lower case u) = any universe about which we may speculate, including alternative universes.

Cosmos (with or without capilal C) = everything that can possible exist.

Cosmos, sensu Bill s. = Ensemble, sensu Finiter.

Now comes the difficult bit. If the Universe is part of the cosmos, as it must be, how can real change occur in the Universe without causing change in the infinite cosmos?
