Science fiction

Fifty years ago this month Hugh Everett III published his paper proposing a "relative-state formulation of quantum mechanics" - the idea subsequently described as the 'many worlds' or 'multiverse' interpretation. Its impact on science and culture continues. In celebration, a science fiction special edition of Nature on 5 July 2007 explores the symbiosis of science and sf, as exemplified by Everett's hypothesis, its birth, evolution, champions and opponents, in biology, physics, literature and beyond.

A commentary from cosmologist Max Tegmark explains why Everett's idea is still gaining ground. A News Feature by Mark Buchanan weighs up the alternative interpretations of quantum physics. A second News Feature records a roundtable debate on the relationship between biology and science fiction. An essay in the Books & Arts section by Gary Wolfe looks at how science fiction anticipated, responded to, and continues to relish parallel universes and alternate realities. Finally, Nature announces the return of its award-winning weekly science fiction short story series with 'Olympic Talent' by Richard A. Lovett, recipient of four Analog magazine readers' choice awards.
