Our Mathematical Universe

The ideas of one of the most original cosmologists at work today--accessible, anecdotal, animated by the author's wit and passion--which will fascinate readers of Brian Greene, Roger Penrose, and Ray Kurzweil.

Max Tegmark leads us on an astonishing journey through past, present, and future, and through the physics, astronomy, and mathematics that are the foundation of his work, most particularly his hypothesis that our physical reality is a mathematical structure and his theory of the ultimate multiverse. In a dazzling combination of both popular and groundbreaking science, he not only helps us grasp his often mind-boggling theories (his website gives a flavor of how they might boggle the mind), but he also shares with us some of the often surprising triumphs and disappointments that have shaped his life as a scientist.  Fascinating from first to last--here is a book for the full science-reading spectrum.
