Just the other day I watched a neat video by the Feral Historian in which he argued the theory that the Mirror Universe is not actually a traditional “alternate timeline” that diverged at a particular point in history and just developed differently from there. He argues that it’s a more amorphous psychoactive kind of place that is “recreated” whenever visitors enter it based on those visitors themselves. I rather liked it.
With the multiverse all things are possible. The “mirror” universe could just be whatever multiverse happens to be the antipode of the current zeitgeist. Like a sociological dipole. Therefore appearing to be “recreated” as a psycho-re-active kind of place, but also a physical reality that always existed. This could be happening often enough through various combinations that the “mirror” universe would even have a memory of previous encounters with a “prime” universe similar to, but not necessarily identical to, the prime universe we are currently watching.

Woah awesome. Watching it now and this guy could have been on Star Trek, damn! He’d fit right in.
He does analyses of stuff from all sorts of different sci-fi, I really like him.
