So when scientists first started to get to the current smallest unit of matter, they made a shocking discovery. Going to skip the surrounding science, but light when isolated down to one single photon sometimes still acted like it was surrounded by other photons. Their are many interpretations attempting to decipher how that would happen and ones of those was “the light is being affected by photons layered in time from a different universe”. So in that interpretation light has an unquantified 4th dimensional interaction. Disclaimer here, this is now mostly a rejected possibility.
So under the multiverse theory that particle of light had several sister universes sitting next to it running the same experiment with those particles of light in slightly different positions, in all positions. And each of those sister universes have a once more removed sister universe. And that happens until all possible photon combinations are filled. But then you factor in the fact that time exists, so now we have more universes moving forward as the photons in the original universe have moved into new configurations, but moving backwards there is a single universe that spawned all those universes.
So, to sum things up with a stupid example, there is a multiverse where I am born. Following the splitting universes, there are many where I die from complications before age 3. There are a lesser many where I grow past age 3 but die before age 12, there are a lesser many where I don’t make it to adulthood. Of those that make it to adulthood of that lesser lesser lesser many a very small amount have followed the approximate path that leads to me writing this post with all of “my” universes exact events. Infinite Hitlers, but finite amount of our Hitler.
