Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives on PBS

Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives will air on NOVA (PBS) Tuesday, October 21, 2008 at 8pm ET/PT.

For most of Mark Oliver Everett's life, things didn't add up. Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives follows Mark, better known as E, the lead singer of the band the EELS, across the country as he attempts to understand the fantastic possibility of parallel universes and unravel the story of his troubled family and the father he never really knew—iconoclastic quantum physicist Hugh Everett III.

Hugh Everett's controversial Many Worlds theory, a startling interpretation of quantum mechanics, makes the astounding prediction that parallel universes are constantly splitting off from our everyday reality. At first derided, the theory has gained traction among some physicists. In this film, the wry and charismatic Mark embarks on a journey back into his father's life, meeting his old friends and colleagues, and takes a crash course in the weird world of quantum mechanics in order to understand his father's mind-blowing theory.
