An interesting nugget


Hey all-

I just tripped over a really interesting story that was on Nova (PBS science show) tonight. It was about Mark Everett (from the Eels, and grew up here in the DC area) finding out all about his father. He knew his father and all that, though he was apparently very distant. Anyway, turns out his dad invented the theory of the parallel universe in quantum physics. who knew?

Anyway, I know it does not sound all the inspiring, but it was very interesting to watch. It is as much about Mark reconnecting with the memories of his father, and finding out really what he did. I am not really a science guy, but this was cool.

Here is a link to the PBS website:

There is a link on the PBS page where you can watch it online.
