Description: Scope/Content: In 1977, John Wheeler and DeWitt invited Hugh Everett to give a talk on his theory at the University of Texas in Austin. A few weeks after the Austin talk, Charles and Suzanne Misner spent an evening at the Everett's house celebrating the Misner's 18th wedding anniversary. Suzanne encouraged the men to make a tape recording about how Everett's theory came about during their Princeton years. It is the only known recording of Everett. This transcript was produced from the original dictaphone tapes by Nancy Everett, with comments and corrections from Charles Misner and John Wheeler. The transcription, however, still contains numerous errors. The original audio recordings are herewith included for comparison and for their intrinsic interest.
Scope/Content: This document is a reproduction of a document found in the Hugh Everett archive, American Institute of Physics.
