Author's Note:
The many-worlds interpretation resolves a variety of paradoxes in quantum theory. It was first proposed by Princeton physicist Hugh Everett in 1957, with the help of his thesis advisor, John Archibald Wheeler. Wheeler worked with Albert Einstein and Richard Feynman, and coined the term "black hole."
"To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis
nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous
fortune..."
– Shakespeare, Hamlet
