For me, what needs to be established, is can we ever 'transact' with sister universes, in a true way? Being nicely pessimistic for the moment, let us shout "Hell No!" Thus, the discussion becomes wonderful for readers of fantasy and scifi, but unimportant as in boring, for people who want to see science and the philosophy of science, mathematics, improve human life. Physicist David Deutsch at Oxford, has long proposed that quantum computing actions would flip and flop back and forth between 1+ more universes. Better, would be trade with other universes with information and goods. I wish would could do this in the Galaxy, but unless ya like Tabby's Star, things appear dead as a door nail.

Infinite sets can cause problems with probability even if you can count the elements, and if you can't it certainly doesn't help. If you stab the number line at random with an infinitely sharp needle your chances of hitting a rational number, or even a computable number, are zero even though there are a infinite number of them.
