What's the Universe Made Of? Math, Says Scientist

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 Tegmark's view, everything in the universe — humans included — is part of a mathematical structure. All matter is made up of particles, which have properties such as charge and spin, but these properties are purely mathematical, he says. And space itself has properties such as dimensions, but is still ultimately a mathematical structure.
"If you accept the idea that both space itself, and all the stuff in space, have no properties at all except mathematical properties," then the idea that everything is mathematical "starts to sound a little bit less insane," Tegmark said in a talk given Jan. 15 here at The Bell House. The talk was based on his book "Our Mathematical Universe: My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality" (Knopf, 2014).
 Nature is full of mathThe idea follows the observation that nature is full of patterns, such as theFibonacci sequence, a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. The flowering of an artichoke follows this sequence, for example, with the distance between each petal and the next matching the ratio of the numbers in the sequence.
The nonliving worldalso behaves in a mathematical way. If you throw a baseball in the air, it follows a roughly parabolic trajectory. Planets and other astrophysical bodies follow elliptical orbits.
"There's an elegant simplicity and beauty in nature revealed by mathematical patterns and shapes, which our minds have been able to figure out," said Tegmark, who loves math so much he has framed pictures of famous equations in his living room.
One consequence of the mathematical nature of the universe is that scientists could in theory predict every observation or measurement in physics. Tegmark pointed out that mathematics predicted the existence of the planet Neptune, radio waves and the Higgs boson particle thought to explain how other particles get their mass.
Some people argue that math is just a tool invented by scientists to explain the natural world. But Tegmark contends the mathematical structure found in the natural world shows that math exists in reality, not just in the human mind.
And speaking of the human mind, could we use math to explain the brain?
Mathematics of consciousness
Some have described the human brain as the most complex structure in the universe. Indeed, the human mind has made possible all of the great leaps in understanding our world.
Someday, Tegmark said, scientists will probably be able to describe evenconsciousness using math. (Carl Sagan is quoted as having said, "the brain is a very big place, in a very small space.")
"Consciousness is probably the way information feels when it's being processed in certain, very complicated ways," Tegmark said. He pointed out that many great breakthroughs in physics have involved unifying two things once thought to be separate: energy and matter, space and time, electricity and magnetism. He said he suspects the mind, which is the feeling of a conscious self, will ultimately be unified with the body, which is a collection of moving particles.
But if the brain is just math, does that mean free will doesn't exist, because the movements of particles could be calculated using equations? Not necessarily, he said.
One way to think of it is, if a computer tried to simulate what a person will do, the computation would take at least the same amount of time as performing the action. So some people have suggested defining free will as an inability to predict what one is going to do before the event occurs.
But that doesn't mean humans are powerless. Tegmark concluded his talk with a call to action: "Humans have the power not only to understand our world, but to shape and improve it."

MY PEOPLE                                         By: Melody Crombie         September 3, 2015

MY PEOPLE feel abandoned by the current ruling class in Washington DC! MY PEOPLE know they've been sold-out, ridiculed, abused, overlooked, shunned, betrayed, mocked, mislead and misunderstood by this deceitful, atheistic, greedy, authoritarian, militaristic, governmental regime.

In addition to being sold-out to the highest-bidding special interest groups, MY PEOPLE are being forced into a corner and told if they take the moral high-ground and express their rights, i.e., Freedom of Religion, they face stiff economic penalties and imprisonment. MY PEOPLE understand where this discrimination is headed. . .History is taking a playscript from the Rosa Parks bio and giving it a fresh, Orwellian-style make-over!

Our land is drying up, burning up and quickly dying (physically, economically and morally) right out from under our feet! MY PEOPLE know the root causes and solutions to the problems that currently plague the United States.

The Cause: “MY PEOPLE are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” Hosea 4:6. MY PEOPLE know if you ignore God and Godly Biblical values and make up your own rules, you are like the person who fails to read and understand the words; WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN DEATH, INJURY, OR SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY DAMAGE!

The Solution: “If MY PEOPLE, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

According to the Holy Bible, “MY PEOPLE,” refers to the people of God, namely Christians. From its inception, the United States was established as a Christian nation. Until recently, our nation has always identified as, “One Nation under God,” by its inhabitants and recognized as such by other countries around the globe. As America slides into an immoral abyss, as special interest groups promote rebellion against God, MY PEOPLE will stand firm on solid, Biblically based, Christian principals. These unchanging principals have guided our nation and MY PEOPLE through periods of great prosperity and terribly tumultuous times.

My prayer is that MY PEOPLE will continue to cling to God, the Bible and other true believers instead of suffering under the Evil, Doomed, Dark, PC Cloud; because MY PEOPLE, the Kim Davis' and Rosa Parks', the silent Moral Majority of the land, know when to sit, stand and ROAR!
