Australian actor Joel Edgerton plays Jason, a physicist who gives up his research career to be a family man in Dark Matter.The science-fiction thriller Dark Matter reclaims the concept of a multiverse from the Marvel movies and shows that have milked it dry – and leans into its roots in theoretical physics instead.

But 15 years ago, he gave that up to be a devoted family man to wife Daniela and son Charlie .Then he is suddenly kidnapped and drugged, and he wakes up in an alternate reality where he is the one with the big career, but not a family.In a college lecture, Jason introduces the idea of Schrodinger’s Cat, a thought experiment illustrating the many-worlds theory of quantum physics.
