The 7 Most Terrifying Reasons Scientists Now Think Our Universe Isn't Real

Hey guys! We’re now live on Spotify🎧 Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/show/1c2uppn... The energy of empty space is tuned so finely that a shift of one part in a number with a hundred and twenty zeros would have left no galaxies at all, and that is only reason number seven. Ahead lie a universe that may be pure mathematics and particles linked across twelve hundred kilometers as if distance were nothing. So what waits at number one? Seven reasons, a slow descent through modern physics, each removing a little more of what we call real, made to be heard at any pace, even as you drift off to sleep. Settle in and let this slow walk through the reasons reality may not be what it seems keep you company tonight.
