There’s an addendum to the theory where essentially you keep walking through worlds forever, quantum erasure style, never dying from your perspective, merely getting older and older.
Thing is, if this was actually true, we would see old people everywhere (as observers of their non-erasure).
The Mandela Effect is pretty wild, but it’s also the most explicitly mental-health issue adjacent of an already “are you sure you’re ok?” field.

But what if you are the main character but everyone else is not?
It would mean then that of all the infinite worlds you walk through, the Simon that you meet is never the main character Simon.
It’s possible, given the nature of infinite infinites, and assuming a full hierarchy of universes… I just find it unlikely.
Surely two main characters will walk each other at some point, and given an infinite lifespan, surely one of them is bound to be alarmingly old.
