    559: Compilation: Our Reality is an Illusion
    Jul 5 2024
    Could our reality be an illusion? Startling evidence suggests the world as we know it may not be what it seems.

    Clues hidden in plain sight point to the mind-bending possibility that we're living in a simulation. Quantum experiments reveal the universe might exist in infinite parallel versions, each containing alternate realities and copies of you.

    Reports of mysterious travelers from non-existent countries hint at intertwining dimensions just beyond our perception. Ancient devices and secret experiments may allow communication with these otherworldly realms, or even enable passage between them.

    This compilation of theories and strange accounts will make you question the very nature of existence.

Long time TWF fan - brilliant ep!

So happy AJ, HF & Team Why Files have branched into podcasts.... they must be the most hardworking content makers on YT.

Regarding this episode, I've always believed humanity couldn't possibly have originated on Earth - we treat our poor 'home' planet abysmally.

No matter what subject WF take on, AJ & Hecklefish make it so entertaining. The only problem I have, is that I find AJ's voice so soothing I often drop off, - unsurprising, as his YT show drops here at 2am (UK time), but hey, at least now I can catch up anytime on Audible.

Thanks guys for all you do,... and know that YOU are appreciated ;) CB x

Why files podcast

Why files is a show covering stories that keep us awake at night, interesting, disturbing and intriguing stories. Somehow, AJ still manages to keep the mood light and the show always leaves me smiling. Operation podcast goes beyond the format of the show with deep dives into already seen topics.
