About this listen
What if reality is not a branching forest of infinite timelines, but a single, irreplaceable world whose value becomes clearer the moment we strip away seductive myths?
This book confronts one of the most persistent modern fantasies—the idea of parallel universes—by examining it through science, philosophy, and the psychology of human perception. It exposes how easily speculative models slip into pseudoscience, how cultural repetition creates the illusion of credibility, and how misused scientific language blurs the boundary between rigorous inquiry and imaginative fiction.
Rather than celebrating infinite versions of ourselves drifting through countless hypothetical worlds, this work returns attention to the only reality that leaves measurable traces: the one we inhabit. Through sharp analysis and lucid argument, it dismantles the notion that unseen parallel selves diminish personal responsibility or dissolve the meaning of choice. Every decision shapes a single life, not a cosmic archive of alternatives.
Clear-eyed and provocative, What If: Reflections on Parallel Universes urges listeners to resist comforting abstractions and to reclaim the dignity of the present world—messy, finite, and profoundly real.
