Today's culture urgently seeks the unifying overstory of what pioneering paranormalist Charles Fort called "damned facts" that violate common observation.
From objects traveling backwards in time and thoughts reshaping our bodies to quantum data plucked from other dimensions and telescopic evidence that our galaxy sits in a black hole, science affirms that warranted belief increases effect. Not psychologically but actually.
Humanity's universal and warranted belief in extra-physicality or interdimensionality is bursting to awareness today. This is attributable not only to advances in recording technology-as seen in Mitch's Discovery / HBO Max series Alien Encounters-but because we as a human species are experiencing more and more of what methodologically replicated evidence reveals: unbelievable yet real and lawful events in the multiverse of reality.
The demand for a new master narrative is here. It appears in MULTIVERSE, a bold new book by scholar of the unknown Mitch Horowitz who provides the meta-story that has peeked out at us across a century of extraordinary evidence.
Drawing upon validated but neglected data in quantum mechanics and computing, interdimensional studies, string theory, parapsychology, simulation theory, ufology, forensics, astrophysics, and psi research, Mitch unveils the simple, all-embracing answer to humanity's enduring riddles. It is this: interdimensionality.
We are poised for realization of ourselves and our surroundings as unbound by Newtonian mechanics and the arrow of time. Whether we are interdimensional or simulated beings-and possibly both-we are discovering ourselves capable of selecting our multiverse.
One of today's most acclaimed voices of esoterica, parapsychology, and the unexplained, Mitch Horowitz is a PEN Award-winning historian whose books include Occult America, The Miracle Club, Daydream Believer, Modern Occultism, Happy Warriors, and Practical Magick.
