"Growing up, Everett knew his dad worked for a computer consultant company and had also spent time in the employ of a defense contractor. There were shards of conversation now and then that hinted of another past career as a physicist. Only in his 20s did he really start to piece together the whole story: Hugh Everett III had been a young star in the quantum physics field and in 1955 he put forth a bold idea, the Many Worlds Theory, a startling interpretation of quantum mechanics that (in wildly oversimplified terms) says that every decision we make splits off a new parallel universe from our reality."
