Does going forward or backward in time really have anything to do with the fact that there is, at least one, parallel universe operating like a mirror image in another dimension?
I don't really know what you meant by "fact". The thought of antimatter came to my mind, but I wasn't sure. Could you elaborate?

To put it in more every-day terms, there has to be a universe where every penny that was ever tossed landed heads, and statistics just doesn't exist.
You are confused. Probability, or statistics, tells us the likelihood or the unlikelihood of an event. It is not the absolute truth.
​
There is nothing to prevent all pennies from landing heads.
​
The multi-verse is confusing to us mortals, just like almost everything in quantum physics. However, just because we mortals can't understand it yet doesn't mean it is not the case.

Re: Multiple univewrses?
I agree with you on the point of lack of data at this time.

Parrellel universes theories currently have not testable means of verification or disverification.
Haven't you seen Stargate SG-1? The episode where Daniel Jackson crossed into another "quantum reality" confirms our suspicion of the multiple universes conjecture.

I think I will stick with my gut feel. I don't believe it.
Well, there are a lot of people that don't believe it. Only some of them don't believe it for the right reason, that there's simply no data to support it.
​
You might want to be be careful about that gut feeling of yours. People had the gut feelings about the causes of the bubonic plague for centuries before they found out the real causes. Gut feelings are good in the halls of L.A. high schools, but they're certainly not sufficient in other matters, like getting your next date.

Re: quantum suicide
There are over 6 billion people on this planet. I propose that we give each person on the planet a gun and have them shoot themselves. Out of 6 billion, there's bound to be someone that will survive such an experiment and prove the multiple universe hypothesis.
