define "universe"

[36grit]

What is the scientific definition of universe?

What might divide ours from alternates?

[Klaynos]

The totality of everything. Or just everything.

I read the wiki pedia version of the definition. But I need to know what is the current view of what divides the muliverses? It seems as though it is that; the current laws of physics ,as we understand them, define our universe and that others may exist that do not conform to our standard model.

There is no currently accepted model for what you're asking. If we consider the multi verse interpretation of quantum mechanics there is no way to distinguish it from any other interpretation nor interact with other 'universes'.
