The Mathematical Universe Hypothesis

The Mathematical Universe Hypothesis proposes that our universe isn't just described by mathematics—it *is* mathematics. According to this idea, all physical reality, including stars, planets, and even ourselves, exists as a mathematical structure. In essence, every aspect of reality corresponds to a precise mathematical pattern, and different mathematical structures could potentially represent different universes. This perspective blurs the line between physical existence and abstract mathematics, suggesting that reality’s foundation is rooted fundamentally in mathematical relationships rather than in physical objects alone.
