Um, thats a common (and annoying misconception) just because
somethings
infinite doesn't mean it contains everything. eg. There are infinite
numbers, each one unique, but that still doesn't mean you can count to

orange. Similarly, you can generate infinite worlds identical to each
other apart from a single number on a wall somewhere.
Even if, as is theorised, the universe splits everytime a quantum
decision
is made, there will still be a more likely result when all possible
results
are combined (though it gets kind of dodgy here trying to say that
this
infinite group of worlds is larger than that infinite groups of world)

I'm sorry to jump down your throat about this but I'm sick of people
trying to convince me that since the universe/multiverse is infinite
then
everyhing imaginable exists somewhere, including fictional universes.

Shameless plug here, but my Destiny of Shadows one-shot fanfic explored
this somewhat. A lot of different things can happen with multiple
universes, but some things can be 'destined' to happen. Even though some
universes had different outcomes, a certain outcome can be 'destiny'.

Why is this? Hard to say, I did make reference to 'reality jumpers'
messing up the universe's time lines and 'knoting' in certain possible
outcomes, but that's hardly a scientific explanation.

My only beef with Converging series is they haven't finished it yet.
