June 25, 2021 7 - Multiverses
Does the multiverse exist? Well, we don't really know, but there are several theories that show that it's very likely that they do. Join me as I explore the different possible ways in which another you may exist in another universe.

May 21, 2021 2 - The Two Interpretations
The quantum world is so mind bending that till date, science does not have any concrete answers to how it works. That being said, the study of quantum physics is governed by four main interpretations. In this Episode, we will be exploring the two most widely accepted interpretations: the Copenhagen and Many Worlds Interpretations.

May 13, 2021 1 - Wave Particle Duality
An electron is a particle. Right? But then why does it exhibit wave properties in some situations? Ok, so then its a wave? No, because why does it act like a particle in some situations? So then maybe... Maybe it's both?
