World famous authors Sir Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter come together to discuss their new work inspired by the many-worlds interpretation of quantum theory.

Totally impossible of course, but it was once said of science fiction that it is a kind of exercise bicycle for the mind, which while it might not take you anywhere, may possibly tone up the muscles that might.
