Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives

It had been eight times on BBC four but I missed it completely:

Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives: Documentary which follows Mark Oliver Everett, the lead singer of US rock band Eels, as he travels across America to learn about the father he never knew – quantum physicist Hugh Everett III. Hugh died of a heart attack in his home in 1982, where his body was found by 19-year-old Mark. Even though they had lived in the same house, the two of them were alienated. Only by entering the paradoxical world of quantum mechanics can Mark hope to understand why he was such a stranger to his own father.


See extracts: E in the Rain and E'Journey

Luckily, thoughtful Toño bought the ticket for Eels' concert in Zürich on March 6 ages ago. It's sold out but we have got tickets!

I'm more used to Terry Pratchett's parallel trousers of the universe, leading to the various universes. Without any personal experience of such type stuff of course.

All happy here despite Zebedee's once again taking over the best bits oy "our' bed

Heaps of love and passport hopes to you each and both
