Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives

Thanks to the BBC iPlayer you can (for the next six days) watch Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives, a great documentary about Mark Everett (E from the band Eels) on a quest into his dead dad, Hugh Everett’s, brain. He was a renowned quantum physicist who pioneered the theory of parallel universes.

I’m sure I don’t need to sell it any more than that. I want to categorise this as TV/Movies, Real World, Real World, Real World, Real World, Real World ad infinitum but clearly Wordpress isn’t down with Everettism just yet.

  1. That’s BBC iPlayer that only works on Windows. Great public service broadcaster there, selling out to the man. What do I pay my license fee for? Oh that’s right, I don’t…

  2. To be fair, the Flash based player works under Linux, and the Beeb does claim to working on download support. But yet, it sucks… There’s always the alternative though.

    Haven’t had a chance to watch the programme yet – need to find some spare time.

    A fan of the first session TV science fiction series the sliders

    As a fan of the first sesion the sliders I enjoyed a group of traviers trying to find their way home from being traped in the universe ran into their fair share of duobles living alternite lives.I though alternite realities could only acessed by wormholes and wormholes created in the heart of black holes not artificial ones created by an antigravity experiment in a basement here on earth.

    Inspired by Quinn Mallory’s antigravity experiment I though I could duplicate the experiment to explore worlds where my double lives.

    My blog time travel and parallel universe theories .blogspot.com tells us visiting our parallel doubles much less creating the partal to reach them requires to much compremise on the laws of physics as we know it to be possible.

    Fan of the first sesion TV series.
