Yes its a 'real' theory, but so is the one that says the universe is composed of little teenie purring cats instead of 'strings'. The problem with the multiple multiverse theories (there is a progression of variations of them) was that in trying to resolve one contradiction it opens up a multitude of other contradictions and has been rejected by the majority of the scientists.

'Science fiction' generally is defined as trying to follow science which includes basic ideas like consistancy and causality in it being employed. So an explanation of 'cuz we say its this way' isnt good enuf.

Anyway if you apply the multiverse system as its employed for the quantum stuff they talk about, Elizabeth really is not changing anything that happened in any 'universe' when she is attempting to 'save' some Booker or an alternate of herself. She is only creating yet another universe (and even starting in a different one each time she goes thru these 'Tear' things). All the others DID happen, WILL happen, will CONTINUE to happen no matter what she does in whatever one she acts within. Every moment an infinity of new COMPLETE universes get created (THATS what that multiverse Theory says).

Ditto for any Rapture she might visit. Weve seen one Rapture that wasnt BS1/BS2 Rapture at the end of Infinite already. In any case, there are already sufficient differences to say the one in BAS also is not the BS1/BS2  Rapture. So thus it simply isnt Canon for BS1/BS2.
