Kako iz kaosa nastane red? Kako je mogoče, da se iz preprostih zakonov narave razvijejo galaksije, življenje, misel in zavest? V tej epizodi raziskujemo globoko vprašanje nastanka reda – od termodinamike in entropije do samourejajočih se sistemov, naravnih zakonov in presenetljive stabilnosti vesolja. Epizoda ponuja umirjeno potovanje skozi znanost, ki ne razlaga le kaj se dogaja, temveč tudi zakaj red sploh lahko obstaja.

V tej epizodi se podamo na tiho potovanje skozi dve največji skrivnosti, ki ju poznamo: vesolje in možgane. Raziskujemo, kako se iz preprostih zakonov narave rojevajo kompleksni vzorci – galaksije v globinah prostora in nevronske mreže v naši glavi. Brez hitenja, brez zapletenih enačb, samo zanesljiva znanost, povedana mirno in pripovedno. Epizoda je namenjena poslušanju ob koncu dneva, ko se misli počasi umirijo in prostor prepustijo radovednosti in spanju.

V tej epizodi se podamo na mirno, a globoko potovanje skozi idejo multiverzuma – ene najbolj drznih in hkrati resno obravnavanih zamisli sodobne znanosti. Spoznali bomo, zakaj fiziki sploh razmišljajo o več vesoljih, kako so s tem povezani kvantna mehanika, kozmološka inflacija in temna energija, ter zakaj je naše vesolje videti tako neverjetno natančno “uglašeno” za obstoj življenja.
