The Many Worlds Hypothesis was developed by David Bohm and is an alternate way of looking at the Uncertaintly Principle, which gets its origin from the collapse of wave functions used to describe the potential states of a wave.

I would give credit to Hugh Everett, a student of John Wheeler's, for developing this interpreation. In fact, the Many Worlds interpretation is also called the Everett-Wheeler-Graham Interpretation. This was back in 1956-7.
