主持人：本期节目探讨了多世界理论，该理论认为所有可能发生的事情都会发生，只是发生在与我们自身现实平行的不同现实中。这包含了各种可能性，从成为畅销书作家到邪恶独裁者，甚至包括那些更加虚构的现实。该理论的根源可以追溯到古代哲学家的思考，并与现代物理学，特别是量子力学紧密相连。节目中提到了几种平行宇宙可能存在的理论，包括宇宙被巨大的距离隔开，以及泡泡宇宙理论，即大爆炸可能创造了无数个宇宙，这些宇宙像泡泡一样漂浮在一个无限的空间中。此外，节目还探讨了量子领域，以及多世界诠释，认为无限的现实副本就存在于我们周围，只是我们看不到它们。节目中还讨论了曼德拉效应，以及科幻作品中对平行宇宙的描绘，例如《星际迷航》、《边缘》、《对位》和《瑞克和莫蒂》等。节目最后探讨了人们对平行宇宙的痴迷，以及我们如何看待自己的选择和人生，以及蝴蝶效应如何影响我们的生活。

The Many Worlds theory suggests that every possible outcome of every event exists in a parallel universe, including scenarios where you are a movie star, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, or an evil dictator.

Shownotes Transcript

So, tell me... how do you like being a movie star? I can't imagine your life. You can't walk down the street without being mobbed by adoring fans. You attend power-lunches with your agent. You pose for pictures on the red carpet on your way to collect your third Academy Award. Your life sounds fun.

Wait, what? You're not a movie star? That's not your life? Well, maybe not in this universe, but there is a universe out there where your life is exactly as I described.

The "Many Worlds" or "Multiple Universes" theory says that anything that can possibly happen does happen. It just happens in a different reality that exists parallel to our own.

There's a reality out there somewhere where you're a best-selling author. There's one where you're a Nobel Prize winning scientist who cured cancer.

There's even a reality out there, where you're an evil dictator plotting to take over the world. And you enforce your will with an army of AI robots that you invented when you were a grad student at Stanford.

Yes, some of these alternate realities are more far-fetched than others. But they are all out there.

Scientists know how these realities are formed and people are working on technology to detect them.

But even if we could detect alternate universes, there's no way to visit them.

Or is there?
