I don't understand how infinite universes can exist. At any point in time, there are nearly an infinite things happening in our universe, and they can theoretically "happen differently" in an infinite number of ways. Like right now, something as mundane as my breathing - I can change my breathing pattern an an infinite number of ways this very instant. Does that mean there are an infinite number of universes where I do? And my friend does? And everyone else?

There would be far too many infinites going on for me to understand how they create new universes.

Why not?  Infinity has no end.  Even between the numbers of 1 and 2, it can be divided forever.  Between the numbers 1 and 2, can be 1.5.  1.555555555555555555555.  When you breath, the phone could have rung.  When you breath, you could have been thinking about cars.  You could be thinking about ice cream.  About cats.  About dogs.  Clearly, the action of breathing is mundane, but you can't say that the You that is breathing and thinking about trees, is the same You who is thinking about birds.  Similar, but alternate. 

I just can't wrap my head around the idea that an infinite number of universes are being increated at an infinite rate. How the hell can they all exist? What's the purpose? Even if there is no purpose, it just feels strange to me that there would be so...many...infinitely infinite number of worlds... How do they fit...
