Enter The Alternate Timeline (SEASON FINALE!)
Today’s episode is the LAST OF THE SEASON! And we're getting weird. What if there wasn't just this one timeline, this one universe, but tons and tons of and tons of universes all around us all the time? Constantly splitting and forming? Well it turns out that there is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that says just that. And today we talk about alternate universes, many worlds, memory, and stories. Plus: what Flash Forward might be like in other timelines.
Guests:
Dr. Sean Carroll — professor of physics at the California Institute of Technology & host of the podcast Sean Carroll's Mindscape
Dr. Charan Ranganath — professor of psychology at UC Davis
Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone — co-authors of This Is How You Lose the Time War
