by Max Tegmark
According to the hypothesis, the universe is a mathematical object in and of itself. Tegmark extends this idea to hypothesize that all mathematical objects exist, which he describes as a form of Platonism or Modal realism.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. “What is reasonable is real; and what is real is reasonable.” #
