Other Worlds: Space, Superspace, and the Quantum Universe

Cabinet of Science & Fiction by Ricardo Alberto

Episode notes

A short but deep dive into physicist Paul Davies’ mind-bending classic, Other Worlds, where quantum mechanics collides with parallel universes, superspace, and the nature of reality itself. In this short but deep dive, we explore Davies’ uncanny ability to make cutting-edge 1980s physics feel like sci-fi—while staying rooted in rigorous science. Could our universe be just one of many? A must-discuss for fans of cosmology, philosophy, and the wild frontiers of theoretical physics.
