But, for every physical process, there is a miniscule chance that almost any result will happen. For instance, there is a miniscule chance that you will never grow old, because your body just won't age.
This chance is zero for almost all practical puposes. Except, of course, if many-worlds is true. If many-worlds is true, those chances will happen. There will be a universe where you never ever die. 1 billion years from now, you will be walking around without any medical aid.

If most, if not all, options have a "miniscule" chance of occuring, then doesn't that mean that all options (e.g. head getting chopped off and dying; or head getting chopped off and living) will equally, or close to, occur?
In addition you mentioned in your experiment that "you" would push the button 1000 times. This may or may not be enough trials to take into consideration the "2^10000000000000000000" chance of getting your head chopped off and living. So to truly validate the experiment there would have to be an infininte number of trials to validate the possible infinte solutions. In this case even a "2^10000000000000000000" chance of something happening would happen infinte number of times.
If that is the case, how does that define multiverses? Either there are multiverses that all this occurs in, or there is one universe that has infinite possibilities of events to occur. Otherwise, there are multiple universes in which all this MUST occur because every option would have had to be accounted for and occured to prove that it was in fact an option.
