This is the Guardian. Ever wondered if there's another you somewhere out there with a totally different life?

What like an ear who can scale skyscrapers with his bare hands or has a black belt in Kung Fu. This idea that there could be distinct

versions of ourselves across multiple universes is explored in the genre bending film

Everything Everywhere all at once, which has been cleaning up at awards ceremonies and looks set to do very well at the Oscars this weekend.

And the Spirit Award goes to everything everywhere all at once.

And the critics choice for best picture is everything everywhere all at once.

It follows a seemingly ordinary woman played by Michelle Yeo, who suddenly discovers that not only does the multiverse exist,

but she's the worst possible version of herself.

The idea may seem fantastical

but multiverse's do spring from theoretical physics

even if scientists are nowhere near agreeing on

whether they're real. So here in this world we're also going to dive into the

multiverse or at least the science behind it. Could there really be several ewes out there and are they all

having more fun? From the Guardian I mean sample and this is Science Weekly. weekly.

Sean Carol, you are a theoretical physicist and philosopher at Johns Hopkins University. First of all, why do you think the concept of the

multiverse captures the imagination the way it does? The concept of the

multiverse in science has obviously been enjoying a bit of a renaissance lately,

but it's an older idea, right?

You know, just the idea of imagining other ways things could be or things could have been. I think what really drives it, it's regret. Regret and hope. It's the idea that

you know I did something when I was in high school, the ramifications of that decision have been with me for a long time.

If I had done something different, I would be living in a very different world.

And now science and philosophy come along and say, yeah, maybe there is someone who did something different and actually lives in that world.
