How do the laws regarding a finite amount of energy and matter in the universe coincide with quantum theory?
Most people I talk to think of the multi-verse as continually branching timelines based on choices of people and random on/off events. They don't tend to think of it as x amount of matter or energy existing in all possible states at the same time.
eg: If a 'new' universe were to exist each time I was faced with a yes/no decision, then there'd be too many such 'verses to be supported by the limited amount of matter. To my understanding it's more of a concept that while my conscious decided to cross the road I simultaneously exists as walking further before crossing. ie: I'm pretty much everywhere at once at any given moment.
Am I right or terribly misguided?
