Deepti from the multiverse joins our trio of hosts - Shouvik, Deepti (our Earthly one), and Leslie. And what are they diving into?

How do parallel universes exist, and could we possibly exist in different versions of ourselves across these universes?

Let's explore the Marvel multiverse, where heroes and villains collide across parallel dimensions. Picture Batman turning evil, where black holes and wormholes merge realities, and characters from DC and Marvel comics facing off for supremacy. TV shows like "Manifest" hint at the notion of portals and parallel dimensions teases the idea that there might be a gateway to alternate realities waiting to be discovered. The pages of "The Hidden Reality" by Brian Greene further expand our horizons, exploring the intricate tapestry of the multiverse. and that's not it the multiverse concept also finds its roots in mythology. Join us as we explore these cosmic wonders and unlock the secrets of parallel dimensions! Read more
