Well, that was based on the theory that there is an infinite amount of parallel universes, and that each one is slightly different from the other, and that every possible outcome to any set of variables acctually does happen in at least one of these paralel universes. To paraphrase Stargate, they're like forks in the road for every choice we make.
This is all theoretical, BTW.
