Season 3 Trailer - The Multiverse Employee Handbook
Season 3 drops on September 2nd!
The multiverse of employment expands once again! Season 3 of The Multiverse Employee Handbook arrives with more science history, astronomy, astrophysics, and quantum mechanics than the universe strictly requires, all delivered with our trademark cosmic indifference.
We're treating the profound mysteries of existence—neutron stars, black holes, and the bewildering behavior of subatomic particles—as if they were simply another Tuesday in the grand bureaucracy of spacetime.
Whether you're fascinated by the universe's more inexplicable tendencies or just wondering why reality seems so poorly coordinated, this season demonstrates that in the expanding cosmos of scientific discovery, every breakthrough exists in a superposition of "revolutionary" and "utterly baffling" until someone with a clipboard shows up to take notes.

Our First Trip Around the Sun: A Multiverse Evaluation
In keeping with the ancient corporate rite of pretending time is a measurable thing, The Multiverse Employee Handbook presents its inaugural performance review — a dignified audit conducted over quantum tea and biscuits that are, frankly, not keeping their quantum states to themselves.
We sift through a year in which reality once again outperformed the imagination department, featuring interstellar drop-ins, cosmic interns with questionable CVs, and office equipment that might be spying for another galaxy. Along the way we ponder Gemini 5, the Ontological Productivity Quotient, and whether the Moon is overdue for its first workplace injury claim. It’s everything you’d expect from a birthday party, except the cake is an unsettling dataset and the candles have been replaced by inexplicable truths.

AI Transparency: In a universe of AI-generated content, we believe in being transparent about what's human and what's not. Your time is valuable, and you deserve to know what you're experiencing. The narrator, David, is a professional voice actor who has digitized his voice through ElevenLabs' voice cloning technology and is fairly compensated for his vocal performance. Thumbnails are created with OpenAI, and music/sound effects come from Pixabay (which are generated by human artists - not AI). Everything else-the writing, jokes, research, sound editing, and interdimensional coffee consumption, is 100% human-made by a human.

Einstein Was Wrong?
Join us for our last episode of season 2 as we explore how MIT's groundbreaking 2025 experiment finally settled the century-old Einstein-Bohr debate about quantum mechanics.

Using ultracold atoms as both slits and measurement devices, Wolfgang Ketterle's team proved that wave-particle complementarity isn't just a limitation of our instruments - it's a fundamental feature of reality itself. We'll dive into Einstein's brilliant 1927 thought experiment that challenged quantum mechanics, Bohr's devastating counter-argument using the uncertainty principle, and how individual atoms became the ultimate referees in physics' greatest intellectual showdown. Plus, discover why quantum mechanics operates like the universe's most sophisticated information security system, and how Anton Petrov's YouTube channel brilliantly covered this research that proves the cosmos enforces a strict need-to-know policy. Perfect for physics enthusiasts and anyone who's ever wondered why reality refuses to behave sensibly, this season finale demonstrates that some things really can't be measured simultaneously - including quantum properties and corporate transparency.

Fusion Propulsion: Almost Working Since Forever
Join us as we explore humanity's 70-year quest to harness controlled nuclear fusion for space propulsion, where the gap between science fiction's convenient Epstein Drive and Princeton's actual plasma physics laboratory represents the difference between cosmic elevator rides and heating deuterium to disappointment for 300 milliseconds.

We'll examine the Princeton Field-Reversed Configuration reactor, discover why helium-3 fuel requires strip-mining the Moon, and learn about the remarkable materials that must somehow survive neutron bombardment while maintaining structural integrity at temperatures that would vaporize most matter. From The Expanse's magical efficiency to the reality of managing plasma that exists in a superposition of "theoretically promising" and "immediately extinguished by thermodynamic bureaucracy," this episode reveals why fusion researchers have been confidently predicting practical space propulsion is just twenty years away since the Eisenhower administration. Whether you're a propulsion enthusiast dreaming of interplanetary commutes or simply wondering why our most advanced fusion reactor produces thrust equivalent to gently nudging a very expensive paperweight, discover why we're all just educated primates dreaming of riding nuclear explosions to the stars while filing the appropriate safety paperwork.
Perfect for fans of hard science fiction, space exploration, and anyone curious about the gap between cosmic ambition and thermodynamic reality.

A Trash Tour of the Moon
Welcome to the ultimate cosmic real estate disaster! Join us as we explore how 65 years of space exploration accidentally turned the Moon into humanity's most expensive storage unit, complete with over 200 tons of abandoned equipment, crashed spacecraft, and yes—96 bags of astronaut waste.

In this episode, we present "The Classified Waste Assessment Initiative" - a tale of what happens when a summer intern gets the assignment of a lifetime analyzing "critical Apollo-era specimens," only to discover she's been cataloguing fifty-year-old space poop with the dedication of a Nobel Prize candidate.
Discover why the Moon isn't just humanity's first extraterrestrial archaeological site, but our most successful unintentional international collaboration. Whether you're a space law enthusiast, cosmic archaeologist, or just wondering who's responsible for cleaning up 65 years of lunar litter, this episode reveals how our most embarrassing space legacy became our most scientifically valuable.
