I'm a big fan of Tegmark's 2007 article* The Mathematical Universe, *but I believe he got a couple details wrong, and those details are interfering with my attempts to interest friends. So, I'm looking for an exposition of the Mathematical Universe Hypothesis, of a similar or shorter length, that omits those details, so that I have something I can recommend to others without qualification. I can recommend Tegmark's *Consciousness is a Mathematical Pattern* TED talk without qualification, but I need something that goes further, particularly for people with a STEM background.
There should be nothing about the Computable Universe Hypothesis. There should be nothing about Gödel's incompleteness theorems, unless it's to explain why they do not pose a problem. Ideally there is no claim about the MUH being testable. What would be wonderful, in its place, is an admission that the MUH is probably unfalsifiable, followed by a persuasive argument for why we should reset our expectations when it comes to entertaining/evaluating a theory of everything. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
