Our Mathematical Universe

The theoretical physicist Max Tegmark leads us through his discipline and several others in an astonishing journey to mind-bending ideas about the very nature of reality from the perspective of pure mathematics. Tegmark makes his case for the "mathematical universe" hypothesis, wherever it might take our understanding of reality, consciousness, and human beings in the cosmos. This magisterial synthesis is one of the most compelling books about the frontiers of present science, its genuine metaphysical ripples, and the realms of speculative futurism.
