If you're a fan of Schrödinger (or his cat) Dark Matter is for you. Dark Matter premieres May 8. https://apple.co/_DarkMatter

Dark Matter is a sci-fi thriller series based on the blockbuster book by acclaimed, bestselling author Blake Crouch. The nine-episode series features an ensemble cast that includes Joel Edgerton, Jennifer Connelly, Alice Braga, Jimmi Simpson, Dayo Okeniyi and Oakes Fegley. Dark Matter makes its global debut on Apple TV+ on May 8, 2024, premiering with the first two episodes, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through June 26.

Hailed as one of the best sci-fi novels of the decade, Dark Matter is a story about the road not taken. The series will follow Jason Dessen (played by Joel Edgerton), a physicist, professor and family man who — one night while walking home on the streets of Chicago — is abducted into an alternate version of his life. Wonder quickly turns to nightmare when he tries to return to his reality amid the mind-bending landscape of lives he could have lived. In this labyrinth of realities, he embarks on a harrowing journey to get back to his true family and save them from the most terrifying, unbeatable foe imaginable: himself.

00:00 What's that supposed to be?
00:02 No...
00:04 A cat.
00:06 We have a cat.
00:08 In a sealed box.
00:11 And also in the box we have...
00:13 A vial of poison.
00:15 A single radioactive atom... Oh, and...
00:19 A Geiger counter.
00:21 Now, if there is no atomic decay, a cat lives.
00:26 But, if the atom does decay, then the Geiger counter will detect radiation...
00:32 Which will set off a charge...
00:34 Which will break the vial...
00:36 And...
00:37 Poor cat dies.
00:39 Oh, he's right. Oh, he's right.
00:42 Now, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics...
00:45 Suggests something... Crazy.
00:48 Before we look inside...
00:50 The atom exists in a superposition.
00:54 Which is a fancy way of saying...
00:56 That it is in an undetermined state...
01:00 Of both decaying and not decaying.
01:04 Which means what?
01:06 This guy had a thing for torturing cats.
01:08 Thanks, Riley. No.
01:11 Schrödinger was his name.
01:14 And he had a thing for understanding the universe.
01:17 [Bell rings]
01:19 The answer, for anybody who cares to know...
01:26 Is that the atom in superposition means that the cat is both alive and it is dead.
