Mark Oliver Everett, lead singer of the Eels investigates the father he hardly knows: quantum physicist Hugh Everett III (1930-82), who formulated Many Worlds Theory (which postulated the existence of parallel worlds) back in 1957. Hardly noticed back in his time, the theory is now embraced by science fiction and scientists. His son discovers that this rejection caused Hugh Everett III to turn his back on quantum physics.
