Many Worlds

In simple terms, the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum physics suggests that there are many, many parallel universes where every possible outcome of quantum events happens, creating a multitude of unpredictable, undiscoverable realities.

Many Worlds is a contemporary retail comic book establishment that connects the conceptual and philosophical aspects of the MWI with the simple concept of doodling or scribbling. This connection lies within the impermanence and uncertainty that is realized in the two concepts and, ultimately, the acceptance of such randomness. This concept is represented through subtle, precise yet indirect visual elements throughout the establishment.

Situated at Shop 1, 41/37 Nuffield Street, Newmarket, Many Worlds’ intention is to provide an enjoyable reading and browsing experience in a space that aims to provoke the thoughts and conceptions of those who peruse through a curated selection of comic books, essentially enriching ideas with the possibility of transporting readers to strange, alternate places or realities.
