I know what you mean. I rather hope the new age ended in 1999.Multiple universes make more sense to me than a single thread of time, though, since there blatently are multiple alternative things that can happen in the future which are all physically allowed. I see no reason why the course of events which we perceive as having happened should have special status over alternative courses of events, or why now should have special status over the past, apart from the relationship between the moment we call 'now' and our memories. Apart from what our individual, subjective memories tell us about our position in time, all physically possible things ought to exist as definitely as those things that exist 'now'.
