Yes, I don't particularly care for the multi-universe theory because it violates my New England parsimony. Too profligate. I suppose as a fundamental scientific principle, "too profligate" is somewhat lacking, but we have the Least Action principle. Seems to fit. :-)
But. I really like your hypothesis of the effects attributed to Dark Energy and Dark Matter actually being due to all those splitting-off alternate universes exercising some residual effect on the one we're in. Yes, and where do they go? Well, maybe the splitting doesn't persist - all these alternates collapse back into the main thread - a different version of the collapsing wave function. But - until they so collapse, in addition to causing Hawking radiation from black holes, they cause the effects the Dark stuff is hypothesized to explain.
Mind you, I don't see how these virtual threads cause the long-range effects we need to explain. Details. I like the concept!
