But it’s also been argued that the very idea of a multiverse is just bad science. That it’s unfalsifiable and a dead-end to inquiry and as bad a violation of Occam’s razor as you could imagine. But the multiverse might also exist. Can something that exists be bad science? PBS Member Stations rely on viewers like you.

It is a shame that PBS is getting budget cuts and it is also weird that Youtube would rather push useless videos instead of these amazingly informative ones.
