There's a similar article in this month's on-line Scientific American about multiverses. By some theories, multiple universes is the only way to explain causality but I'm bothered about the though of an endless series of me eating that tainted potato salad at the picnic three years ago. I suppose, though, that in at least one of the universes I killed the SOB that made it.

Alternate universes would explain why some dreams are ultra-realistic and entirely rational, unlike the majority created by the brain attempting to straighten out its file system. There's also the phenomenon of running across a person for the first time only to feel at a loss because your gut tells you you've known them for a long time.
A good take on this was the movie "The One".

At this point, one notices some innumerancy on the part of the author.
