BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Scientists have long used mathematics to describe the physical properties of the universe. But what if the universe itself is math? That's what cosmologist Max Tegmark believes. In ...
Almost 400 years ago, in The Assayer, Galileo wrote: “Philosophy is written in this grand book, the universe … [But the book] is written in the language of mathematics.” He was much more than an ...
If you believe the Mathematical Universe Hypothesis then yes. And so are you. Quantum phenomena have no subjective qualities and have questionable physicality. They seem to be completely describable ...
It's a truly remarkable fact that our deepest understanding of the material world is embodied in mathematics, often in concepts that were originated with some very different motivation. A good example ...

The vacuum of space isn't actually "empty"; it teems with particles that pop in and out of existence, giving the vacuum an energy of its own. But here's an embarrassing fact about that energy: it ...

In his book The Mathematical Universe: My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality, physicist Max Tegmark argues that the universe is completely mathematical—and if it isn’t, physics is doomed. But ...
