The multiverse probably exists in a theoretical sense, but it doesn't really make any difference for the common folks here on earth. It's only relevant to physicists who get paid to theorize about these things and then try to prove them. So, in that sense, they've created a job niche for themselves that is fairly safe from downsizing since there is nobody else that can understand what they're doing.

But rest assured that this revelation, if true, is not going to change your daily life. You still have to go to work to pay your bills and earn retirement, sad as it may seem. It is indeed sad, I think all this theoretical physics should have a practical use, but if we live in a multiverse then it's probably true that vastly powerful quantum computers are borrowing computing power from themselves in a parallel reality. And if this is the case I might be able to get a richer version of me from some other reality to lend us both a few quid until the weekend. And then I turn off the computer and don't pay him pack.
