Most people think the multiverse is just about "what-if" scenarios – other versions of you where you took that job in another city or turned left instead of right. But to a physicist, the multiverse isn't a storytelling device; it’s a mathematical consequence of our best theories of the universe.
In this video, we dive deep into the actual science behind multiple realities. We strip away the sci-fi tropes to explore what physics says about how the multiverse could actually exist and how we might eventually prove it.
