If Christopher Columbus had died of a stroke before he lead his expedition to the Americas, all of modern history would have been at least a little different. Most people alive today would not exist in the same form. Our parents wouldn’t have boinked at the same time they did, the same sperm would not have fertilised those eggs, we would all be different people.
There is some quantum probability that Columbus would have had a stroke. Not a high one, but it’s perfectly possible, through quantum tunneling if nothing else. Thus, the earth’s waveform is in superposition between that version of history and this one. You don’t have to call that a different universe, but the authors of the many worlds theory do.
