which inevitably leads to the conclusion that all of our conscious-selves will be repeated an infinite number of times, and will always exist, in a multiverse in infinite size and time. So reincarnation must happen, except there is no soul and memories are destroyed each time you die.

It would be impossible to only exist in a single finite period of time in an infinite (in time) multiverse, since a finite number divided by an infinite number equals zero (finite #/infinite # = 0), which would be the chances of living at a particular period of time in an infinite universe (or multiverse). In an infinite multiverse (in size) each conscious-self must always exist, since everything that is possible must always exist.
