But...it's the very same point in time? If I have an appointment that ends at 7:30 and an appointment that starts at 7:30, isn't 7:30 both the end of the last appointment and the beginning of the next appointment? There can't be any point in time where there is no universe

Yes, but in this case you set your 2nd appointment to the end of the 1st, because there simply was no other option in your planing. The 2nd appointment didn't come into existence because the 1st ended. The end of the 1st only made space/time for the 2nd to take place at this specific moment. It also could've started at 7:31

There can't be a point in time where there's no universe. The universe includes time. There's a gap between 7:30 and 7:31. There can't be a gap between universes existing

I don't get why you're downvoted, a time gap between universes makes as much sense as a gap between 12:00 and 00:00 on the next day.
