In 1954, in a shared suite at the Princeton Graduate College, a graduate student with a taste for sherry and science fiction started teasing two friends about the absurd things they had just said regarding quantum mechanics. Three years later he had a doctorate, a published paper, and a theory that nobody wanted. Then he left physics forever, went to work for the Pentagon calculating how many people a nuclear exchange would kill, and never published another word on the subject he is now famous for.Hugh Everett III did something no physicist before him had dared to do: he deleted a rule. The standard account of quantum mechanics has two rules, one smooth and lawful, the other abrupt and mysterious, and nobody has ever located the place where the second one lives. Everett simply removed it and kept the equation. Everything else — the branching worlds, the infinite copies of you, the word "multiverse" on a hundred paperback covers — was added afterward by other people, most of it by men who had never met him.This book follows a subtraction that was mistaken for a cosmology. It asks what a "world" actually is inside a formalism that contains no such object, why a theory in which everything happens still has to explain why some things are more likely than others, and what it costs to declare an infinity of branches that nobody will ever measure. Along the way: a bashful advisor, a pipe relit seventeen times in Copenhagen, thirteen years of silence, a rescue by a man who supplied the famous name, and a physicist who spent the rest of his life optimizing weapons allocations and told an interviewer the trip to see Niels Bohr was worthwhile mainly for a mathematical trick he thought of at the hotel.The dream is magnificent. The invoice has never been paid. Both deserve to be looked at honestly.©2026 Boris Kriger (P)2026 Boris Kriger 天文学・宇宙科学 宇宙論 科学
