The Multiverse Employee HandbookBonus: Close Encounters of the Third KindNovember 15th, 2025 marks forty-eight years since the release of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the film that turned alien contact into a musical duet and made communication itself the star of the show. In this special bonus episode, The Multiverse Employee Handbook celebrates Spielberg’s luminous masterpiece — the five-note conversation that redefined science fiction, inspired generations of scientists, and reminded us that the universe might just be trying to say hello.

The Multiverse Employee HandbookWhat 3I/ATLAS Taught Us About the Galaxy—and OurselvesWhen an interstellar comet drifts through our Solar System, the scientists study it—and the Square-Haired Boss throws it a welcome party with no cake, no funding, and no guest. From the desks of Quantum Improbability Solutions, we explore what 3I/ATLAS revealed to the James Webb Space Telescope, and what it accidentally taught us about the galaxy, deep time, and our own cosmic paperwork.
