Dictionaries just follow trends. It knows nothing about new science until the new words for the new science become well known. My guess is that the every thing definition will soon be given to either the Megaverse or the multiverse.

Thinking that scientists should be bound by the english dictionary is rather childish. Are you a child or just a teenager?
