'The real science behind Parallel Universes'

The Showroom
Have you always wanted be a rock star?

In a parallel reality your wish came true. Is this the real life, or is this just fantasy?

Learn about the real science behind parallel universes as I take us on a journey of discovery through the multiverse to different parallel worlds, from those that exist all around us to those that are unimaginably far away.

Travel across the landscape of string theory to watch new universes bubbling into existence, and visit island universes that are marooned in a sea of extra dimensions. Understand how you can create new universes closer to home just by tossing a coin, and find out why you might be nothing more than a Boltzmann brain, floating through empty space with false memories.

Sheffield Café Scientifique

Sheffield Café Scientifique is held in the café bar of "The Showroom", where the general public, practising scientists and science communicators gather in a relaxed and informal environment to explore the latest developments in science and technology.
We meet on the first Monday of each month (except when that's a bank holiday, we do the following Monday)
