I mean, that's a good philosophical premise for a book, I think.

Would we know if we were sucked into an alternate timeline via that kind of science? Would it matter to us? Could we change it?

I'm sure there's a YA novel in there somewhere.

Every single SciFi show uses a shimmering effect when that happens, and I never saw that effect. So, it either happened when I was sleeping or otherwise wasn't looking, or it didn't happen. Or maybe it happened the night I took all of those mushrooms. Never can tell if I'm seeing something or just seeing something.
I'm pretty sure going through a micro black hole involves everything being spaghettified and... waaait a minute, now that you mention it I've been eating a LOT of spaghetti these last few months.
