"If you accept the idea that both space itself, and all the stuff in space, have no properties at all except mathematical properties," then the idea that everything is mathematical "starts to sound a little bit less insane," Tegmark said in a talk given Jan. 15 here at The Bell House.
From this sequence of logic, based on a paradox, formed everything that exists, in a recognizable pattern. This pattern so beautiful and perfect, it was able to grow large and complex enough to recognize itself. When it recognized itself, it created math, and then it wrote the OP's preposterous article.

What you are actually is beyond words, but it would be not untrue to say you are nothing whatsoever other than pure, infinite, disembodied consciousness/intelligence; a field of miraculous infinite light; God dreaming itself; an infinite point of pure potential; or the infinite implications of nothing whatsoever.
The immediate presentation of this unspeakable actuality is the field of your experience, which is an instantaineously appearing virtual field of Radiant Presence as apparent qualities. This is the actuality of which every/ and any/ thing that you think exists consists. This is inclusive and complete; nothing whatever other than this field exists. In short, the entirety of Reality is the "bubble" of YOUR experience, the field of Radiant Presence, which alone exists.
This is the totality of Reality. This is not theoretical, but is actually, immediately real; always the case right here right now.
Imagine if we develop conscious AI, and we create an engine for them, and separate them in the space (make individuals) and have them interact in the engine? I wonder what they would conclude about their surrounding reality.

The statement made by this guy reminds me of an old Student/Master story.
After many years of study, the Student approached the Master.
"I have determined that all is an illusion," said the Student.
Without saying a word, the Master kicked the student in the balls.

The funny thing is, if you do that in one of your dreams, the same thing can happen to you and you'll feel the same sensation of pain and discomfort, So what does that tell us? Don't say stupid things to Master's.

There is no concrete evidence that dreams exist. It's all anecdotal.

When it comes to seeing, smelling, tasting, touching and hearing, there is NO difference between a dream and what we're doing now.

Sounds like circular reasoning to me: If you accept that the only properties are mathematical properties then that means everything is mathematical.
Well, yeah. If you accept that God made everything then that means God made everything.
What if you don't accept that opening premise? What if you accept the idea that math represents those properties rather than actually being those properties? Math works very well in describing and modelling things, that doesn't mean those things are math.edit on 2/2/2014 by Phage because: (no reason given)

Go get somebody to kick you. See if you wake up.
