[net.sf-lovers] SCIENTIFIC PAPERS ON ALTERNATE UNIVERSES

FORWARD@USC-ECL@sri-unix.UUCP (08/14/83)

I happen to be working on a subject close to the alternate universe idea so
have in hand a list of references on what scientists have written about
the alternate universe concept.

Hugh Everett III, "'Relative State' Formulation of Quantum Mechanics",
Reviews of Modern Physics, Vol. 29, 454-462 (July 1957).

John A. Wheeler, "Assessment of Everett's 'Relative State' Formulation of
Quantum Theory", Reviews of Modern Physics, Vol. 29, 463-465 (July 1957).

(My source states that Everett was a student of Wheeler.)

Bryce S. DeWitt, "Quantum Mechanics and Reality", Physics Today, Vol. 28,
No. 9 (September 1970) [no page numbers in my source]

B.S. DeWitt, "The Many-Universes Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics", in
FOUNDATIONS OF QUANTUM MECHANICS, Academic Press, New York (1972).

Leon N. Cooper and Deborah Van Vechten, "On the Interpretation of Measurement
within the Quantum Theory", American Journal of Physics, Vol. 37, 1212-1220
(December 1969).

Graham, eds., Princeton Series in Physics, Princeton University Press (1973).

Robert Krotkov, review of the book, THE MANY WORLDS INTERPRETATION OF
QUANTUM MECHANICS, American Journal of Physics, Vol. 43, No. 1 (January 1975).
