Each future with a probability which is between (and not equal to) 0 and 1, exists equally. Doesn't depend on how big the probability is. The only unique future that exists with probability 1 is that in which we live right now, that of which we think about and are conscious. The futures that have probability 0, don't exist, for a mathematician, do exist for a philosopher, and for a physicists it neither does exist or doesn't exist. It both exists and doesn't exist.
