Hi,
I'm hoping that someone can explain one problem I have with the many worlds theory. If the many worlds theory is true, then we are currently living in a universe which is the product of an infinite number of splits in the past. Thus, looking at our history, we should have numerous extremely improbable events in our past. Although many other branch points/universes exist, our particular branch point is the result of infinite splits. Following all of these back we should see some instances of someone flipping a coin ten thousands times and always getting heads, etc. We do not have any such recorded events in our history, despite an infinite amount of splits leading us to our particular current branch.
Do you not think it is highly improbable, that out of an infinite amount of splits in our history, we live in the only branch in which no single recorded event exists which is highly improbable.
