Mathematics can be a subject that’s a bit unrelatable for some. Perhaps you recall sitting in a math class at some point, wondering, “When am I ever going to use quadratic equations?” But a new book ...
Dark energy, making up 70% of the universe, causes its accelerating expansion. Gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein, were detected from colliding black holes. The Event Horizon Telescope imaged ...
BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Scientists have long used mathematics to describe the physical properties of the universe. But what if the universe itself is math? That's what cosmologist Max Tegmark believes. In ...
If you believe the Mathematical Universe Hypothesis then yes. And so are you. Quantum phenomena have no subjective qualities and have questionable physicality. They seem to be completely describable ...

Cosmologists are not your run-of-the-mill thinkers, and Max Tegmark is not your run-of-the-mill cosmologist. Throughout his career, Tegmark has made important contributions to problems such as ...
The vacuum of space isn't actually "empty"; it teems with particles that pop in and out of existence, giving the vacuum an energy of its own. But here's an embarrassing fact about that energy: it ...
