Multiverse Theory: What Does Realistic Science Fiction Say About Our Universe?

Episode Summary

https://revelationequation.com/Science fiction readers increasingly seek realistic portrayals of multiverse theory, but most books get the physics wrong. Understanding actual multiverse science helps readers appreciate accurate storytelling approaches in this growing genre.

Episode Notes

Let’s talk about science fiction—and why more readers like you are starting to want something different from it. Not just adventure or action. But something grounded in what’s actually possible.

Fantasy book sales jumped by more than eighty-five percent in early twenty twenty-four. And science fiction saw a twenty percent boost too. That kind of growth tells us one thing: people are hungry for stories that push boundaries. But here’s the problem. A lot of multiverse stories, whether in books or movies, have almost nothing to do with real science.

So what’s the difference between fiction and realistic science fiction?

The multiverse is a real scientific theory. In fact, there are several versions of it. One of the most well-known is the Many-Worlds Interpretation. That’s the idea that every time a choice is made, the universe splits—and both outcomes happen in separate timelines. Another is called Eternal Inflation. It says our universe is just one of many bubbles floating in an ever-expanding space. Then there’s string theory. It suggests there might be more dimensions than we can see, and those dimensions could house entirely different realities.

These theories aren’t fantasy. They’re backed by math, physics, and real research happening at places like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.

If you're curious about how science fiction can reflect these ideas more accurately, you’re not alone. A new trend called realistic sci-fi—or “plausible sci-fi”—is starting to gain ground. That’s where stories stay grounded in actual science instead of just imagining things for the sake of plot.

One example is a project from "Revelation Equation." The upcoming novel uses real quantum mechanics and particle physics to tell the story of a protagonist who develops a working formula that could reveal the structure of other dimensions. The story builds to a high-stakes experiment at CERN, blending scientific method with emotional depth and philosophical questions about identity, truth, and consciousness.

The author of this project, Dr. Sam Toney, isn’t your average sci-fi writer. He’s a board-certified psychiatrist with a background in neuroscience and care systems, and he’s currently working with researchers at Stanford University on the psychological side of UAP disclosure. His work bridges science and spirituality, showing that the two can inform each other, especially through storytelling.

If you’re a fan of stories that make you think, and that respect both curiosity and facts, then you might find this kind of sci-fi refreshing. It’s not just about parallel universes or alternate timelines. It’s about how we use science to explore meaning.

"Revelation Equation" is one of several new projects that reflect this shift in science fiction.
