If Quantum physics is correct, then there is an infinite number of universes, and an infinite number of possibilities. Anything that can happen, is, or has, or will happen, almost defies imagination.

If Quantum physics is correct, then there is an infinite number of universes, and an infinite number of possibilities.

All things are possible but not all things are probable.
