YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A fan asks, “Could a superhero have the power to travel around the multiverse, or would the different laws of physics in different universes make that impossible?” Neil deGrasse Tyson looks to quantum physics for the answer, explaining how particles – and possibly universes – can “pop in and out of existence.” But when co-host Chuck Nice says he wishes he had some marijuana to better appreciate the concept, the conversation turns to the value of pot when pondering mind-blowing possibilities like this one.
