Or would you conclude, Mr. X, that you shouldn't give alka seltzer to birds?
All I get about multiverse stuff is that it's considered a perfectly valid possibility that each possibility manifests, in every possible combination, in every moment. So every moment a finite but very large number of universes spawn from "the" universe.
Usually in scifi this is scaled way up, which is perfectly legitimate - what if a gnat distracted the ref, he flipped the coin slightly differently, it was heads instead of tails, Team X beats Team Y in the SB, etc. Very comforting to imagine that we're in that one crap-ass universe where David Tyree doesn't catch the ball on his helmet, and I'm sure Seahawks fans conversant with the Many Worlds Interpretation use it to explain the Butler pick.
But here's the thing, it's a progressive phenomenon; the universes branch off moment by moment, but getting from universe A to universe B? I'd like to know more about how one manages that. Every moment you continually peel off alternate universes, but in each you (and the rest of the universe) have taken exactly one chain of actions, it's just that the universe resolves into all of the possibilities - but "this" universe isn't interacting with the others.
Serious question. how do you "get there"? Is there even theory on this, or just TV shows?
