ARE WE ALL PART OF A GIANT MATHEMATICAL OBJECT?

ARE WE ALL PART OF A GIANT MATHEMATICAL OBJECT? I posted here five years ago about the cosmologist Max Tegmark’s belief that all physical reality consists of mathematics. This excerpt in the Scientific American blog from this January from Tegmark’s new book, OUR MATHEMATICAL UNIVERSE, argues that: “our universe isn’t just described by math, but that it is math in the sense that we’re all parts of a giant mathematical object, which in turn is part of a multiverse so huge that it makes the other multiverses debated in recent years seem puny in comparison.” Tegmark argues partly from how much math there is in the universe. For example, mathematics predicted the existence of the Higgs Boson. And from only 32 numbers, “physicists can in principle compute every other physical constant ever measured.”
