Are there an infinite number of copies of us doing different things?

Since you can't access them, does it matter?

Some have said that if the universe is infinite than there should be an infinite number of copies of us.

This isn't necessarily the case. A set of even numbers is infinite, but doesn't contain any odd numbers or anything other than numbers.

That is one assumption.  But it cannot be proven.
