Man geht allgemein davon aus, der Erfinder der „Many Worlds“-Theorie sei Hugh Everett (vorher auf Nerdcore: Eels’ Mark Everetts Doku über seinen toten Vater, den Erschaffer paralleler Welten), jetzt habe ich einen Auszug aus Edgar Allan Poes letztem Buch „Eureka“ gefunden, indem Poe eindeutig eine „Many Worlds“-Theorie aufstellt. Hach, Poe und Quantenphysik…
Let me declare, only, that, as an individual, I myself feel impelled to the fancy — without daring to call it more — that there does exist a limitless succession of Universes, more or less similar to that of which we have cognizance — to that of which we shall ever have cognizance — at the very least until the return of our own particular Universe into Unity. If such clusters of clusters exist, however — and they do — it is abundantly clear that, having had no part in our origin, they have no portion in our laws. They neither attract us, nor we them. Their material — their spirit is not ours — is not that which obtains in any part of our Universe. They could not impress our senses or our souls. Among them and us — considering all, for the moment, collectively — there are no influences in common. Each exists, apart and independently, in the bosom of its proper and particular God.
Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘Many Worlds’ theory — Published in 1848, 82 years before Hugh Everett was born

Das klingt irgendwie so, als hättest Du es bislang weder gelesen noch würde es in Deinem Bücherregal stehen. Und Du willst ein E. A. Poe Fan sein? Shame on you!
Aber zugegeben, es hat schon ein paar Minuten gedauert, bis ich es wiedergefunden hatte.
