Frontiers Lecture: Our Mathematical Universe with Max Tegmark




American Museum of Natural History Podcast show

Summary: Cosmological mathematics are often mind-bogglingly complex, but in this podcast, cosmologist Max Tegmark helps us to grasp some of his most complicated theories about physics, astronomy, and mathematics. Tegmark is the author of a new book, “Our Mathematical Universe: My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality,” and in his lecture he not only delves into his theory of the ultimate multiverse, but also his own personal triumphs and disappointments that have shaped his life as a scientist. This lecture took place in the Hayden Planetarium on January 13, 2014.
