The Many Worlds of Hugh Everett III Apr 26, 2010


View full-size image

Peter Byrne tells the story of Hugh Everett III (1930-1982), who invented a theory of multiple universes that has had a profound impact on physics and philosophy.

Hugh Everett III's "Many Worlds" theory, of infinite multiple universes, is now considered a hugely important breakthrough in the history of physics. This book tells the story of the physics establishment's rejection of his theory, his subsequent Pentagon career in nuclear strategy, and his difficult personal life and eventual death from alcoholism.
