The Multiverse Employee Handbook
The Multiverse Employee Handbook is a science comedy podcast where workplace humor meets cosmic exploration. From quantum mechanics explained through staff meetings to space history through annual reviews, we decode scientific mysteries through corporate metaphors. Each episode combines rigorous science with absurdist office scenarios, whether exploring the strange physics of black holes or the equally baffling logic of expense reports. Perfect for curious minds who suspect their workplace might exist across multiple dimensions, we deliver astronomical insights wrapped in corporate satire. Whether you’re fascinated by the mysteries of dark matter or the inexplicable disappearance of break room snacks, our show provides genuine scientific knowledge with existential humor. Subscribe now to navigate both the cosmos and cubicle culture with equal parts wonder and skepticism! New episodes arrive every Tuesday, regardless of temporal anomalies.

Join us as we explore whether the multiverse is legitimate science or elaborate excuse-making for fine-tuning problems.

We examine string theory's 10^500 possible configurations, eternal inflation's bubble universes, and quantum mechanics' many worlds—discovering these aren't assumptions but consequences of established physics. We investigate Occam's Razor (w...
This week we examine the rather optimistic notion that one might construct a room capable of becoming anywhere in the universe, provided one doesn't mind the minor inconvenience of rewriting several fundamental laws of physics. The holodeck represents humanity's most ambitious attempt to make reality optional—a project that has proven marginally more challenging than anticipated.
This week we tackle nothing—not the Seinfeld variety, but the rather more complicated scientific sort that refuses to behave properly despite centuries of reasonable requests.

This week, we examine China's approach to space exploration, which bears a striking resemblance to that employee who arrives fashionably late to the group project but somehow ends up with their own functioning rocket program while everyone else is still arguing about meeting schedules.

Stargazing, if we’re honest, is just flipping through the universe’s backlog of outdated correspondence. Every speck of light is a cosmic memo delivered with the urgency of a sleepy postal clerk who’s just discovered black holes and lost interest in everything else. The night sky isn't showing you what's happening now—it's showing you what happened then, filed under Eventually by a universe that never learned to sort things by date...
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 i...
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 qu...
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.

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.

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.

Scientists have discovered Earth may be floating in a 2-billion-light-year-wide bubble of cosmic nothingness—the universe's equivalent of premium rural real estate that nobody wanted. This cosmic isolation might solve physics' biggest headache (the Hubble tension) while making us statistically improbable cosmic lottery winners. Meanwhile, Quantum Improbability Solutions markets this as "excl...
