Yes, you are living in Hell

Parallel universes exist - study
Welcome to Hell

 Parallel universes really do exist, according to a mathematical discovery by Oxford scientists described by one expert as "one of the most important developments in the history of science".

In Everett's "many worlds" universe, every time a new physical possibility is explored, the universe splits. Given a number of possible alternative outcomes, each one is played out - in its own universe.

A motorist who has a near miss, for instance, might feel relieved at his lucky escape. But in a parallel universe, another version of the same driver will have been killed. Yet another universe will see the motorist recover after treatment in hospital. The number of alternative scenarios is endless. [cont]

Hillary Clinton might be elected to the  United States Senate in one universe, and that universe is what other universes call "Hell."  In universes where a moral code holds sway, she is eaten by pigs on her second birthday.

First, this work actually only shows that we can't tell the difference between a "parallel universe" scenario and plain old quantum mechanics.

Second, the bad driver will split into one alive/one dead ONLY if the both possibilities have nonzero quantum amplitudes. Thus, for example, there is no "parallel universe" in which the Dolphins beat the Patriots today, since that has zero probability even on a subatomic level.

Third, "parallel universes" is horrible terminology. There is only one universe, which is subdivided.

Think of the universe as a movie being played on an HDTV. Now cut the HD screen into a 4000-piece jigsaw puzzle. Each of those pieces is a so-called "universe." We're trying to figure out if the movie is a Disney or a porno by studying the patches of color on our piece of the puzzle. (Little do we know, it's actually a documentary on Martian fleem disease amongst stench-packers on Omicron Delta IV.)

As long as the pigs ate Hillary in one of them, there's a world I want to be in.
