If two separate branches in the multiverse happen to become identical, so
that they can be said to fuse at this point, is it necessarily true that
their futures will also be identical from then on? For example, if two
branches are identical at a certain point, but in one branch the
gravitational constant is rising while in the other it is falling, won't
this make them split up again soon after fusing?
