Wait a minute...sorry, but what about the possiblity in principle of multiple Universes? They would be physical, but are impossible (in principle) to observe/detect, since they are seperated/connected by nothing at all.

Why would these things deserved to be called physical? If they are impossible even in principle to detect, then from our perspective, how is their ontology any more physical than a soul, or God, or faries?

Because they are composed of wavicles and spacetime.
