Story
Every physicist agrees quantum mechanics is among humanity's finest scientific achievements. But ask what it means, and the result will be a brawl. For a century, most physicists have followed Niels Bohr's solipsistic and poorly reasoned Copenhagen interpretation. Indeed, questioning it has long meant professional ruin, yet some daring physicists, such as John Bell, David Bohm, and Hugh Everett, persisted in seeking the true meaning of quantum mechanics. What Is Real? is the gripping story of this battle of ideas and the courageous scientists who dared to stand up for truth.

Story
Is the world around us real—or is it a construct, a mirage generated by a powerful and incomprehensibly advanced intelligence? This question, once confined to the pages of science fiction novels and speculative late-night discussions, has in recent years migrated into the heart of contemporary philosophical and scientific inquiry. The idea that our universe might be an elaborate simulation, running on an immense computational substrate, is no longer dismissed as a fringe hypothesis. Instead, it is now taken seriously by physicists, cosmologists, computer scientists, and philosophers alike.

The universe is a vast, mysterious, and incredibly cool place. It’s filled with things so strange and wonderful they can make your head spin. From the tiniest particles buzzing around beneath the surface of reality to the largest structures stretching across billions of light-years, the cosmos is packed with surprises. And the more we learn, the more we realize just how much we don’t know. When you glance up at the night sky, you’re not just looking at stars. You’re peering into the deep past, through millions or even billions of years.

Have you ever questioned reality? Not in the abstract, philosophical way, but in the eerie, spine-tingling moments when the world just doesn’t seem quite right? Like when a stranger says exactly what you were thinking. When the same numbers keep following you. When time seems to skip. Or when you look in the mirror and wonder: am I real—or just playing a role I didn’t choose?
