Each represents such a vast extension of what we usually call the cosmos (or Universe) that he suggests we should use the word multiverse for these extensions. Tegmark argues that it is bigger and stranger in four main ways, each one building on the last.
Indeed, it is bigger and stranger in ways you probably have not thought about - even though you are a reader of Plus, and so of course both very clever and very imaginative!
The message of this book is that the cosmos is much bigger, and much stranger, than you might have thought. He holds a Ph.D from the University of California, Berkeley, and is a physics professor at MIT.Our mathematical Universe: My quest for the ultimate nature of reality by Max Tegmark He has featured in dozens of science documentaries, and his work with the SDSS collaboration on galaxy clustering shared the first prize in Science magazine's "Breakthrough of the Year: 2003". Max Tegmark is author or co-author of more than 200 technical papers, twelve of which have been cited more than 500 times.
What he proposes is an elegant and fascinating idea: that our physical world not only is described by mathematics, but that it is mathematics. Where do we come from? What makes the universe the way it is? In essence, why are we here? With dazzling clarity, Max Tegmark ponders these deep mysteries and allows us to grasp the most cutting-edge and mind-boggling theories of physics. Part-history of the cosmos, part-intellectual adventure, Our Mathematical Universe travels from the Big Bang to the distant future via parallel worlds, across every possible scale - from the sub-atomic to the intergalactic - showing how mathematics provides the answers to our questions about the world. In Our Mathematical Universe, Max Tegmark, one of the most original physicists at work today, leads us on an astonishing journey to explore the mysteries uncovered by cosmology and to discover the nature of reality
