The PC and reality overload
With the advent of billions of microprocessors performing millions of binary operations per second, would there be a parallel universe for an error in each of the binary operations? Let's say in our universe, a binary operation correctly returns a 1 in another universe does that operation return a 0 causing an error? If so, the Information Age has increased the rate of parallel universe creation by a great deal. Can we ever overload reality with too many parallel universes?
Not trying to be overly serious with this post... just curious
thanx

ah but what about all those other universes where the development of microprocessors happened much earlier?
I'm all for blaming them when reality falls apart...
If we can have a universe where all coin tosses always come up heads can we have a universe where every operation of every microprocessor errors out all the time?
