Has the MCU taken a stand on branch universe theory? 1. What indications are there that the MCU is operating/will operate under the model of linear time or branch universe theory?
2. When Dr Strange creates a time loop while facing Dormammu, is this a localized time distortion, or is the whole universe reliving a short period of time until he stop mucking about with it?
3. Are there multiple universes forming a multiverse or is there only the universe we are familiar with?
4. When Thanos rewinds time to restore the mind stone, is he actually rewinding time or just reversing its effects on the mind stone?
5. When Dr Strange views possible futures is he viewing them as potentials or as actual alternate universes?
6. If he is viewing alternate universes, does this commit the MCU to a form of time-frozen block-universe determinism?
