Where do we come from? What makes the universe the way it is? In essence, why are we here? With dazzling clarity, Max Tegmark ponders these deep mysteries and allows us to grasp the most cutting-edge and mind-boggling theories of physics. What he proposes is an elegant and fascinating idea: that our physical world not only is \u003ci\u003edescribed\u003c\/i\u003e by mathematics, but that it \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e mathematics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''\u003ci\u003eOur Mathematical Universe\u003c\/i\u003e is nothing if not impressive.
