So in some other universe, Bill Clinton just decides to drop on in and bugger parallel-me for the hell of it? Everything else is identical?
In an infinite number of other universes, yes.
In an infinite number of *other *universes, it’s Dick Cheney.
And in an infinite number of universes, you bend over expectantly and wait, but he changes his mind and goes out for pizza instead.
Significant if irrelevant point: None of the numbers here are truly infinite. The number of parallel universes (assuming we accept that hypothesis) that look almost like this one except that I misspelled one more or fewer words in this post is, even though they started diverging less than a minute ago, mind-bogglingly astronomically beyond-all-possible-measure-and/or-comprehension huge. But it’s not infinite.
It is if you permit infinite duplicates of each universe (except there’s no reason to do that if they’re actually all just different views/arrangements of the same everything-at-once universe)
I want to live in a universe just like that, except that instead of either Dick Cheney or Bill Clinton, it’s Kate Winslet, and she’s the one bending over expectantly. Who do I see to line that up?
Her agent?

Does this help?
Play the flash animation - it cleared up a couple of things (in a purely speculative way) for me.
