many worlds theory

Alright someone help me out with this one.
According to many worlds theory, which has basis in science and quantum mechanics, all realities can exist parallel to each other.
But that means in one reality I'll get cut off from writing this because the universe collapsed. It means right now in another reality I'm a square on a piece of paper and you're a circle and we breathe spears.

My problem is, I know certain things won't happen as a matter of fact. How can one reality split off into the sun changing directions, but one happens where I live this life, know the past, know the present, and can predict the future using tested laws and instincts.

How can you even test such a thing, when in one reality there are many worlds and in another there aren't? That's a paradox that makes no sense at all.

According to the tests as I understand it, a clock stops at the speed of light, meaning anything traveling the speed of light stops all movement and time stands still. It means the big bang happened right now. Other implications suggest we all co-exist AS the universe with our own perceptions of reality, all real as we observe it individually.

The problem with many worlds theory is how in the **** can someone test that it is both true and untrue at the same time?

Maybe the answer to this one is simply Occam's Razor?
But even then, that can't be right because Occam's Razor explains things are more simple than they appear. But things only appear a certain way in one set of rules that the universe follows. It's another paradox.

There's no end. It's impossible.

Also, who do I need to be to make an informed or logical opinion? Is there such a thing? Apparently in this universe (whatever that is) I must have prior knowledge of something and include that knowledge into a precise hypothesis of thought, or I am invalid.
What? Why? Who says?

Some might say this is off-topic. But is it really? I think anything involving consciousness and reality has to do with why we are the way we are. You can argue. Who's right?

I have thoughts like these running through my head all day. They can get pretty frustrating and confusing. I try to take the world and reality for what it is, but apparently what it is can be ANYTHING!

read His dark materials by Philip Pulman, seriously if you are interested in the many worlds theory you simply must read it.
