While attending a science convention in Hollywood, a physicist begins to notice similarities between quantum theory and her own life.

A young man struggles to rationalize with fate as he watches the people he loves experience immense pain and suffering. As he learns more about the physics of the universe and slowly teaches himself how to travel through time, he begins experiencing surreal moments where he can actually see the alternative paths he and his loved ones could have taken, and how they would all have been different if they had.

When a physics professor reaches the cusp of his greatest work, he pressures his friend into sharing research information and lands himself into trouble with the U.S. military.

In an alternative timeline, a physics-loving, homosexual British mathematician finds himself alive and given a second chance at pursuing his studies.

When a scientist discovers science-based information that negates his world's established creation myth and belief system, he sends the world into chaos, with some zealots clinging desperately to their dogma, while others attempt to embrace the unknown future.

On a train ride to a metallurgical conference in Chicago, a consultant tries to avoid the debate between pure and applied sciences, but he cannot avoid it when he gets cornered in the washroom by two professors and an undecided bright new recruit.

When he comes back home from work to find that his wife has been cheating on him, a mad scientist builds a time machine to go back in time and ensure that her mother never gives birth to her, but things don’t turn out as expected.

In a futuristic world, five physicists want to learn more about the structure of spacetime at the Planck scale. They send clones into a black hole to discover the information, but there is a high chance that the clones will not survive the experiment.

A catalog of the tools different alien species use to read and write, leading to fundamental questions about what it means to make patterns of knowledge against the noise of the universe.

In a time fraught with fear surrounding school shootings, a parent struggles to hone her anxiety into a productive tool for protecting her children. But after devoting a decade of her life to developing a quantum simulation program, she learns that the answer she has been seeking is far simpler than she could have ever guessed. How does an anxious parent reconcile their desire to protect their children with the risks of interfering with the simulation of the known world? That is the question the narrator seeks to answer, confronting the inadequacy of fear and preparation in a time of bone-chilling crisis.
