Hugh Everett

At the quantum end of things, the best-accepted interpretation, Hugh Everett's Many Worlds, states that at every possible decision point the universe splits in two, with each alternative realized.

Louis de Broglie's paper introducing the idea that electrons could be treated as waves which impressed Einstein and led Schrödinger to his Nobel-winning work on quantum theory is conspicuous by its absence, as is the 1957 paper by Hugh Everett that made the "many worlds" idea, which remains the best resolution of the Schrödinger's cat puzzle, part of mainstream science.

And in 1957 physicist Hugh Everett presented his Many Worlds Theory that postulated an infinity of parallel universes whereby the universe splits every time a quantum system makes a choice, and there are billions of quantum events taking place within each ounce of matter every second.
