![]() ![]() 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. Tegmark is a cosmologist at MIT and his first book, Our Mathematical Universe, is about the idea that the world is not merely described by mathematics, but actually made of mathematics. 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 Why does mathematics explain the universe so well? From the big bang to the distant future via parallel worlds, Max Tegmark proposes a radical idea- that our reality is not only described by mathematics- it is mathematics. ![]()
