by A. Strominger some years ago (Presented by Dr. P. back in 2019
June) indicates that the Universe has Memory function, Database Fans!
It is the interaction of photons and gravity, Also, this was Hawkings
last paper in the collection. Color me a sentimentalist.

I don't see the contradiction. Yes it's possible, even probable, that
a single air molecule bumping into you could change you enough that
one year from now your history and your conscious experience will be
very different from what it would've been if that particular air
molecule had not bumped into you, but that doesn't change the fact
that right now, at the instant the air molecule hit you, your
conscious experience will not have changed nor would that of anybody
else. And if Hugh Everett's Many Worlds idea is basically correct,
which I think it probably is, then "you" DO split trillions of times
every second and they will all eventually have different histories,
but NOT at the instant of the split. Up until that instant they all
will have had identical conscious experiences, and it would be
nonsensical to ask which one is really "you". They would all have an
equal right to call themselves Giulio Prisco.
And it could be that the molecule bumping into you never results in
different experience at the semi-classical conscious level.
