BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH of HUGH EVERETT, III. Eugene Shikhovtsev ul. Dzerjinskogo 11-16, Kostroma, 156005, Russia [email protected] ©2003 Eugene B. Shikhovtsev and Kenneth W. Ford. All rights reserved. Sources used for this biographical sketch include papers of Hugh Everett, III stored in the Niels Bohr Library of the American Institute of Physics; Graduate Alumni Files in Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library, Princeton University; personal correspondence of the author; and information found on the Internet. The author is deeply indebted to Kenneth Ford for great assistance in polishing (often rewriting!) the English and for valuable editorial remarks and additions. If you want to get an interesting perspective do not think of Hugh as a traditional 20th century physicist but more of a Renaissance man with interests and skills in many different areas. He was smart and lots of things interested him and he brought the same general conceptual methodology to solve them. The subject matter was not so important as the solution ideas. Donald Reisler [1] Someone once noted that Hugh Everett should have been declared a “national resource,” and given all the time and resources he needed to develop new theories. Joseph George Caldwell [1a] This material may be freely used for personal or educational purposes provided acknowledgement is given to Eugene B. Shikhovtsev, author ([email protected]), and Kenneth W. Ford, editor ([email protected]). To request permission for other uses, contact the author or editor.

This is NOT an attempt to divert readers from the aforementioned web-site. Indeed, the reader should only read this back-up copy if the updated original cannot be found at the original author's site. Parallel Worlds / Parallel Lives an interview with Mark Everett on his famous father Hugh Everett PBS/NOVA , October 21, 2008 [Mark Oliver Everett]: Hello. Nice to see you. [Narrator]: Mark Oliver Everett -- known to his friends as 'E' -- is the creative force behind the "Eels" - an alternative rock band... [Everett]: {Singing} there's nothing that i wanna do … [Narrator]:... whose songs have earned a shelf full of music awards and even popped up in the Shrek movies. [Everett]: {Singing} trouble with dreams is they don't come true. And when they do. they can't catch up to you … [Narrator]: But many of Mark's fans don't know that his father Hugh Everett is also a cult figure in the world of Physics for pioneering the strange theory of parallel universes. Hugh Everett proposed a multitude of universes -- each a home to an alternate reality including alternate versions of you and me. It may sound crazy. But the theory of parallel universes is now considered serious science. And Hugh Everett is -- to some -- an icon.
