How appellant the idea of a multiverse where the wavefunction collapse doesn't turn realities unreachable from the other quantum fluctuation results, in brief terms, referring to the "Many Worlds Theory" or the different view of Laura Mersini-Houghton.

"The Man in the High Castle" is a thought-provoking and mesmerizing series that explores an alternate history where the Axis Powers emerged victorious in World War II.

The series is a masterclass in world-building, taking viewers on a captivating journey through a dystopian America divided between the Greater Nazi Reich and the Japanese Pacific States. The painstakingly crafted sets, costumes, and props transport you into this chilling altern... read the rest.
