This episode discusses something many people fail to mention about the multiverse - that it actually makes a prediction.
Well, sort of. You can probably guess that a theory about an infinite number of unobservable parallel universes can't make a conventional prediction in the standard scientific sense. But with this "prediction", you'll see how multiverse scientists can avoid the three problems that plague a naive multiverse.
While this episode is incredibly important for understanding the multiverse, it's more complicated than the last one. But don't worry - we have a marble analogy that makes everything crystal clear.
