<DIV>From <A
href="http://www.delawareonline.com/newsjournal/local/2003/11/20professorponder.html">Delaware
Online</A>: You could either feel awe-inspired or small, listening to Max
Tegmark's lecture at the University of Delaware on Wednesday afternoon on the
probability of the existence of parallel universes mimicking or diverging from
our own. <A href="http://www.hep.upenn.edu/~max/">Tegmark</A>, a professor of
physics and astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania, discussed the
multiverse (more than one "uni-" verse) with a standing-room-only group of more
than 50 budding physicists and assorted philosophy, biology and science majors
at a UD Department of Physics and Astronomy lecture. Of course, your reaction
depends upon your point of view. <BR>Tegmark has published many articles about
the subject in academic periodicals and more mainstream magazines, including "<A
href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa006&articleID=000F1EDD-B48A-1E90-8EA5809EC5880000">Scientific
American</A>." Born in Sweden, he earned a doctorate from the University of
California at Berkeley and post-doctorate degrees in Europe and at Princeton.
According to Tegmark, the most popular and simplest cosmological model today
predicts that there is another you not a short distance from us doing - exactly
or approximately, depending on those unpre- dictable quantum mechanics - what
you're doing now: eating breakfast, riding in a carpool, or wrinkling your brow
and rolling your eyes. </DIV></BODY></HTML>
