Home > Hugh Everett


Hugh Everett III ( 19301982) was an American physicist who first proposed the many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics, which he called his "relative state" formulation.

He left physics after completing his Ph.D., discouraged at the lack of response to his theories from other physicists. He worked as a defense analyst and a consultant, became a multimillionaire, and did research on improving the effectiveness of nuclear weapons.

He was also the father of Mark Oliver Everett, a.k.a. E, the lead singer of the band eels.
