I don't know if we're meant to make anything of it, but I noticed that we
had a John Wheeler on the show, and another John Wheeler was a physicist
who temporarily championed the idea that when a quantum-level event takes
place, *all* of the possible outcomes happen in different universes rather
than one being "selected" at random.  (He later rejected the theory as
"carrying too great a load of metaphysical baggage.")

Then on the 4/18 episode, we have a quote from Heisenburg to the effect
that what we see isn't the universe, but the universe according to the way
we look at it.Very interesting...
