Are We Made of Math? Exploring the Mathematical Universe Hypothesis

🔑The mathematical universe hypothesis suggests that our physical reality is a mathematical structure.

💡All self-consistent mathematical structures that do not have internal contradictions are believed to exist physically according to this hypothesis.

🌌This hypothesis implies the existence of an infinity of parallel universes, referred to as the Level 4 multiverse.

🤔There is ongoing debate regarding the fundamental existence of mathematics, whether it is discovered by humans or invented by us.

🔬The mathematical universe hypothesis is currently not testable, but future developments may lead to testable predictions.
