Do you think of reality in terms of different "timelines"? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm imagining like a lot of different timelines. I'm jealous of the versions of me in the better timelines, and simultaneously afraid of those darker timelines, ones even darker than this timeline.

Do y'all think of the world as different "timelines"?

Perhaps I'm too obsessed with time-travel/multiverse-theory?

Btw I read Recursion lately (time trsvel story). And I watched Dark Matter TV Series (parallel universe story). Both stories by the same author.

Every time these concepts appear in the media, my "obsession" just goes even further.

I don't like this current "depression" timeline. Very shitty.

Why is adding an additional unprovable postulate to quantum mechanics (the universal wave function) and believing we live in an invisible infinite-dimensional infinitely branching multiverse more reasonable than just accepting that quantum mechanics is a time-symmetric theory?
