Imagine a ball falling down a peg board. Each time it hits a peg, it has a 50% chance of falling either direction. This creates a Gaussian distribution where it lands. It has a very high probability of landing in the exact center, and slightly less probability of landing to the right, and even less at landing to the far right, etc. See this image: http://ptrow.com/articles/Galton_June_07_files/GaltonBoard2.jpg http://ptrow.com/articles/Galton_June_07_files/GaltonBoard2.... Now imagine instead of probability, you just split universes each time it hits a peg. One universe the ball goes to the left, and in one universe, the ball goes to the right. Each possibility gets it's own universe. Then the same result happens. The majority of universes have the ball land in the middle, and very few universes have it land on the tails. But each possibility does have it's own universe. It's just some things happen more than others. If you pick a random universe, you are more likely to end up in one with the ball in the middle, then on a tail. And this doesn't require an infinite number of universes. It's a completely discrete system.
