Humbling to realize that many assumptions I’d previously made about reality-and my wardrobe-were dead wrong. Until then, I’d never realized how color-blind I was, and it was quite “That’s not a black suitcase,” said the guard.
“But there it is-that’s my suitcase, right there!” “Did someone just forget a black roll-on bag here?” Where I was supposed to help with a BBC documentary about Hugh Everett, when I realized that my hand wasn’t holding a suitcase. They were already boarding my flight from Boston to Philadelphia, Sweet exists by convention, bitter by convention, color by convention atoms and void exist in reality. Internal Reality, External Reality and Consensus Reality "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. He holds a Ph.D from the University of California, Berkeley, and is a physics professor at MIT. 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". an imaginative intellect and a charismatic presence' - Clive Cookson, Financial Times Max Tegmark is author or co-author of more than 200 technical papers, twelve of which have been cited more than 500 times. Physics could do with more characters like Tegmark. Brilliantly argued and beautifully written, it is never less than thought-provoking about the greatest mysteries of our existence' - New York Times 'An amazing ride through the rich landscape of contemporary cosmology. 'Our Mathematical Universe is nothing if not impressive. 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.
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 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.
