Scientists have long been using math to describe physical properties of the universe. But what if the universe itself is is pure math in nature? – wonders famous cosmologist Max Tegmark. Tegmark also suggests that everything in the universe and even man is part of some complex mathematical structure. All matter consists of charged rotating particles, but their basis is purely mathematical, claims the scientist. Even the space of the universe itself, ultimately An account is simply a mathematical structure. “Assuming that space and all objects in it have a pure mathematical properties, then the idea of mathematical origin of our world makes sense, “said Tegmark during the discussion his book “Our Mathematical Universe.” Also a scientist sure that if its version eventually turns out to be wrong, then physics as a science just doomed. Tegmark’s idea takes its roots from observations of common patterns in nature, such as “Fibonacci sequence” on the example of flowering artichoke, whose petals are located in strict mathematical sequence (the distance between each petal is consistent with ratio of numbers in a sequence). Non-living matter also subject to mathematical laws. If tossed into the air baseball, its flight will be parabolic trajectories. Astrophysical bodies in the open spaces move along elliptical orbits. Based on this, Tegmark believes that nature shows our minds exquisite beauty and simplicity, which are manifested in mathematical forms and structures. If the basis of the nature of the universe is mathematics, then theoretically scientists can foresee any phenomenon. Tegmark stressed that it was with the help of mathematical calculations that it was possible to detect radio waves, the planet Neptune and the “particle of God”, the study of which will be able to explain how other particles gain their mass. And although many experts claim that mathematics is just a tool by which scientists try to know the world, Tegmark I am sure that the mathematical structure he observes in the natural world clearly demonstrates how math actually works, and not only in the minds of people. Many scientists believe that human the brain has the most complex structure in the entire universe. After all, exactly it makes it possible to realize all that is and to make the most significant discoveries. Tegmark is sure that the day will come when with mathematicians, experts will be able to describe even our consciousness. is he suggests that our consciousness is a special state in which information stays temporarily while it is being processed extremely difficult ways. Tegmark also noted that in physics the greatest discoveries came about through the fusion of things that previously considered completely separate phenomena. For example, energy and matter, space and time, electricity and magnetism. Scientist suggests that our mind, it is consciousness, being a complex moving particles will eventually merge with the body. However, if the brain is just mathematics and the movement of its particles can be calculated when using equations, does that mean that there is no human free will? This is optional, says Tegmark. For example, if the computer will try to imitate the action conceived by man, his calculations will take about the same time as doing this actions. It turns out that free will is the inability to predict what exactly is a person going to do until he does it. In addition, Tegmark is sure that free will gives humanity not only the ability to realize the world, but also to influence it formation and development.
