The Multiverse: In Science, Fiction, and Beyond with Ethan Siegel, PhD, Astrophysicist, Author, and Science CommunicatorDEC 6, 7-9PM | Doors @ 6PM | Advance tickets recommended; $5 suggested donation
Have you ever wondered if there's another Universe out there beyond the one we observe and inhabit? If so, what is it like? How large is it, and is it large enough that there might even be other Universes that have unfolded exactly the same way our own unfolded, with nearly identical Milky Ways, Suns, Earths, and even ourselves? If just one of the innumerable quantum outcomes had occurred differently, how would those other Universes differ from our own? Could there be other copies of ourselves out there that made just slightly different decisions, leading to wildly different outcomes? These questions might fill our minds with wonder and lead to wildly imaginative stories for us to tell one another, but science has quite a bit to say about this Multiverse as well. Come hear what we know about the Multiverse: in science, in fiction, and beyond!
