![]() ![]() Specifically starting from the Uncertainty Principle, the author argues that all possibilities can and indeed will occur. ![]() The tentative hypotheses defining our future drive most of the original work in this book. In a nutshell, he runs through the tenants of extreme physics both in the time and size dimensions, that is, from quarks to galaxies and from the big bang to whatever string theory may have in store for us. But he writes with aplomb about a subject of which few people have much grasp and fewer people can manipulate. Max Tegmark is a professor of physics at MIT and a leading expert on theories of the Universe. ![]() From a reader’s point of view, there may be referrals to some fancy equations but the lack of mathematics serves to convey this author’s message very well. So what is an author to do? It appears Max Tegmark plays this line by continually talking about mathematics but never actually using any in his book ‘Our Mathematical Universe – My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality.’ From a publisher’s view, this is a keen gambit. Editors will often say that putting any mathematical equation into a book will sideline it to a destiny of either a textbook or dust collector. Mathematics seems to be the bane of many people, and especially many authors. ![]()
