discovermagazine.com — According to Tegmark, “there is only mathematics; that is all that exists.” In his theory, the mathematical universe hypothesis, he updates quantum physics and cosmology with the concept of many parallel universes inhabiting multiple levels of space and time.

You can't prove a negative. I hate your kind of people.

I thought the universe was made out of ?.

Try wiping away all thoughts about 'thinking' about it and just observe. It seems at this point the answers come out of the subconcious. I guess its meditation, but I don't really like that term because of the strange stigma associated with it. As well as the flasehoods.If you think about it, it kind of seems everything you focus on and deliberatly attempt to acquire of achieve only gets further away. Odd I think.... Is when you 'let go' stuff just seems to come. There has to be more to that aspect as it relates to the universe than meets the eye.

If you really want to understand the universe, read "The Physics of Immortality" by Prof. Frank J. Tipler, then eat some mushrooms and watch Darren Aronofsky's movie Pi.

No one here at 'Digg' can answer my question because they are dumb!

Whery good, anticipated question.And what is stuff that makes math, and so on...

About: i^2= -1, pi=3,14…, e=2,71…==============.The numbers rule at Universe ./ Pythagoras' theory /Which numbers?At first: i^2=-1, h, h=h/2pi and electron’s parameters.====================My question is :Can imaginary and transcendental quantities belong to a real particle?1.Take, for example, Dirac,s sea.The particles in this sea are negative, virtual, imaginary.2.The Dirac,s sea is not warm place, but very cold one.In this cold space there are own laws.For example.According to J. Charles law ( 1787),when the temperature falls down on 1 degreethe volume decreases on 1/273. And when the temperature reaches -273 degree the volume disappears and particles become "flat figures ". The " Charles law" was confirmed by other physicists: Gay-Lussac, Planck, Nernst, Einstein .These " flat figures " have the geometrical form of a circle, as from all flat figures the circle has the most optimal form: C/D=pi= 3,14. This is one of condition of " imaginary" particles. 3.Can these " imaginary" particles become "real" ?Of course.How?To use Goudsmit - Uhlenbeck's impulse / spin (h = h/ 2pi).And as result they acquire volume.With volume they acquire also mass, charge, energy.4.Quantum theory says:when electron interacts with vacuum, its physical parameters become infinite. But such statement contradicts the "Law of conservation and transformation energy". And then we should understand and accept that when the physical parameters of electron disappear (become infinite) it become " flat figure ". We don’t need to dream of "a method of renormalization".5.The " imaginary" particle is a "real " particle.The numbers; i^2= -1, pi=3,14…, e=2,71…belong to the " imaginary" particle.6.Mathematics is not written for mathematicians.Mathematics is written for physics, for Nature. The numbers do not exist only for itself.The "real" numbers exist in connection with "real" particles. And the "imaginary " numbers also exist in connection with "imaginary " particles.The "imaginary " particles are not hard, steel particles.Their geometrical form can change.This change is explained with Lobachevsky/ Bolyai geometry. This change is explained with the Lorentz transformations. ==================..Some quotations."A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which isn't there"/ Charles R. Darwin./ =================. As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality. / Albert Einstein./===========.

Maybe, computing has had on hell of a bright past as well.

Seems to me that math is described by the Universe works just as well.
