Hugh Everett

Hugh Everett was a physicist who proposed the "Many-Worlds Interpretation" of quantum mechanics in 1957. This theory suggests that every quantum event spawns multiple, parallel universes where different outcomes occur. Instead of collapsing into one reality, all possible outcomes exist simultaneously in separate worlds. This idea challenges traditional views of reality and has implications for the philosophy of physics, raising questions about existence and determinism. Everett's theory invites us to reconsider the nature of reality, suggesting an infinite tapestry of interconnected possible worlds rather than a single linear timeline.
