In the last in the series Professor Jim Al-Khalili explores how studying the atom forced us to rethink the nature of reality itself. He discovers that there might be parallel universes in which different versions of us exist, finds out that empty space isn’t empty at all, and investigates the differences in our perception of the world in the universe and the reality.Al-Khalili also shows how the world we think we know turns out to be a tiny sliver of an infinitely weirder universe than which we could have conceived.
