Mathematics, mathematics everywhere!
The multiverses, the parallel Worlds, life, external and internal reality, the beginning and the inevitable end of the Universe, the Big Bang and the Death Bubbles, self-awareness and our emotions... everything is mathematical structures described by mathematical equations.
Our Universe is mathematics - nothing else!
Arrogant? Provocative? Innovative? Call it what you will - but it is the cold truth. "Our Mathematical Universe" is Physics, Mathematics, and Philosophy, tightly bound in their most fertile form. It is the book that revises physical consequence. Within its pages lies the "something" that was waiting to be discovered.
How is this spectacular effectiveness of mathematics in describing the World explained? How does mathematical democracy perceive the equivalence of a mathematical with a physical existence? What kind of exotic mathematics describe the unified multiverses? Which mathematical equations distinguish quantum immortality from quantum suicide? How much paradox is hidden in the mathematical passage from the microcosm to the macrocosm? Why are mathematical structures overlooked on the "human" scale with which we are familiar?

A wonderful book, well-written, the author explains the subject of the book in a very nice way. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to delve into astronomy and mathematics, and how beautifully these two combine to explain natural phenomena and the laws of the universe that govern our world
Understandable writing but for individuals with a background in natural and mathematical thinking. Extremely interesting, it adds an important piece to the popularization of cosmology! It should be taught in schools.
Atheistic good, and I write atheistic because in the Mathematical Universe (in general, not just Max Tegmark's), autocracy does not apply, but even if it did, it should be proven systematically, with a mathematical analysis of personality and proof of its cosmological involvement (religion is not related to mathematics). It is very philosophical because it lacks mathematical proofs or at least developments (even if they were incomplete, it would help). It is good for a new person who loves the sciences. It is not strictly scientific (it is not a thesis) but it examines our perspective on the Universe. It saddened me because it does not explain well that mathematics is a human tool. Mathematics is broader than physics (it encompasses more subfields). Physics encompasses fewer domains than mathematics. Physics is the science that studies spatiotemporal reality (but it is not itself). Also, science tries to eliminate dogmatism (the belief in things that are not proven), but there are inherent limits in metamathematics (see Marcus du Sautoy, buy his books). The Whole is not definable for similar but not identical reasons to its proofs because the set of all sets does not exist (Kurt Gödel's incompleteness theorems). Max Tegmark left gaps. From "it saddened me" and below, I mention the book's shortcomings. Additionally, the concept of structure generation/struogony falls under philosophy. Mathematics and physics are better formulated with mathematical equations. Buy all the books by Sean M. Carroll and Steven Weinberg as well.
