Frases de Hugh Everett

Hugh Everett III fue un físico estadounidense que propuso por primera vez la teoría de los universos paralelos en la física cuántica. Dejó la física después de acabar su doctorado, desalentado por la falta de respuestas hacia su teoría por parte de los demás físicos. Desarrolló el uso generalizado de los multiplicadores de Lagrange en investigación operativa y los aplicó comercialmente como consultor y analista.

Hugh Everett también es conocido por ser el padre de Mark Oliver Everett, cantante y compositor estadounidense más conocido como Mr. E o simplemente E, que lidera la banda Eels. Mr. E ha dirigido un documental sobre su padre, "Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives", en el que entrevista a otros físicos sobre la obra de su padre. Wikipedia

in an early draft of his doctoral dissertation (1950s).

“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.”
