V tej epizodi se podamo na mirno, a globoko potovanje skozi idejo multiverzuma – ene najbolj drznih in hkrati resno obravnavanih zamisli sodobne znanosti. Spoznali bomo, zakaj fiziki sploh razmišljajo o več vesoljih, kako so s tem povezani kvantna mehanika, kozmološka inflacija in temna energija, ter zakaj je naše vesolje videti tako neverjetno natančno “uglašeno” za obstoj življenja.
