This is probably our favorite episode in the series. It was certainly the most fun to record. Together with the next four episodes, it contains the heart of our argument rejecting the multiverse and marks the conceptual turning point of this entire series.

This episode in particular has a strange objective - to thoroughly reject a naive version of multiverse theory that no serious scientist actually believes in. While this may sound strange, this exercise is actually quite important. First of all, while no serious scientist accepts a naive multiverse, many popular presentations of the multiverse do. So it's good to see the problems with the popular, but naive, version of multiverse. And more importantly, it turns out that understanding what a naive multiverse is, and where it goes wrong, is critical for appreciating the absolute necessity of multiverse's third premise - that our universe is typical.

But it should be clear that in this episode, we'll be attacking a naive version of the multiverse. While the actual multiverse theory may seem absurd, many leading scientists believe that it's a realistic possibility. The naive multiverse, on the other hand, is so completely ludicrous that no one serious can possibly believe it. At least we hope not...
