It's non-canon. Jeez. People need to look up the definition of "canon" and "non-canon". Let me help you out. "Non-canon" is a simplified term for "Alternate Universe" as it's just easier to say.

Think of it as looking in a mirror. You have you, the one looking in the mirror. That's canon, the "current" universe. Your reflection, the one looking back at "you" is the "non-canon", the "alternate" you. Your reflection, as far as you know, could be doing something completely different than what you are doing when you walk away from the mirror and thus "alternate universe".
