The theory of multiverse is interesting. I was watching Fringe forums for someone to ask THE question that's in almost everyone's (whoever follows Fringe) mind. What are the odds that the scientist (Walter) was able to observe and crossover to the exact universe at the same time? In the finale of season one, he explains the concepts and basic theory behind multiverses. Branching of universe with every choice each man makes. So imagine the number of universes present.
So the question on the forum was quite simple. What are the odds that I might find myself in the other universe? For example the victims of an accident which happens in universe stop existing but in other universe they may continue to exist and have kids. These kids will not exist in the first universe, so the odds of finding the kid there in the first universe is absolutely nill. Then how does the theory works?
One probability is in applying philosophy of fatalism. Conservation of choice can be applied to a universe thus attaining balance and correct long term descrepencies. So the people who died in accident in first universe may die of some disease in the second. The reasons may vary but the balance is still maintained. So number of people in all of the universes always remain the same but the state in which they exist may differ.It might seem that everyone has freewill but in the longrun its of minor importance.
