Dark Matter

by Blake Crouch

The Many-Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics posits that all possible realities exist. That everything which has a probability of happening is happening. Everything that might have occurred in our past did occur, only in another universe. What if that’s true? What if we live in a fifth-dimensional probability space?

This is the most concise explanation of quantum theory (as it applies to humanity) as you’ll find. When I learned about the Many-Worlds interpretation of quantum physics, I knew I had to write about it, and this theory started me down the path of planning the novel that would become Dark Matter.
