   Oct 21, 2008 · Learn about the radical idea of Hugh Everett III, who proposed that the entire universe is quantum-mechanical and that every possible outcome of a measurement happens in a separate universe. Find out how his theory challenges the classical-quantum divide and how it is received by physicists today.

   Why did Hugh Everett lose track of his life?

   • A compulsive model-builder, Hugh Everett III “burned to reduce the complexity of the universe to rational formulae”. Yet while he tried to grasp everything through physics, he kept losing track of his own life. Everett entered Princeton University in 1953 to study mathematics, attracted to the new field of game theory.

   Was Hugh Everett influenced by physics?

   • The work Everett did for the Pentagon, then, arguably had a net positive effect on the multiverse. It’s tempting to speculate that these actions were influenced by his physics work, but we’ll never know. Everett’s life was fascinating and tragic. Peter Byrne’s book, The Many Worlds of Hugh Everett III provides a detailed account.

   Did Everett really think the universe is quantum-mechanical?

   • A half century after he shared his radical idea with the world in the July 1957 issue of a leading physics journal, Everett and his Many Worlds theory finally get their day in the sun. Here, the cover of Nature, July 5, 2007. Everett's argument that the universe is quantum-mechanical is logically indisputable in and of itself.
