The physical world is nothing more nor less than an abstract mathematical structure.

OMG, fascinating, thanks!

Freeper Physicist recommended this guy's webpage a couple of years ago. If you haven't paid it a visit yet, it's well worth it.

Thanks, I will.
Poll: the Pythagorean says, "all is number", I say...
  1. How many finger am I holding up?
  2. What about letters?
  3. Must have been a big number that you smoked.
  4. What's the number for 9-1-1?
  5. Other (please specify)

Here’s a recommendation of a book by Douglas Hofstadter (you know him already) that explains Goedel’s disembowlment of positivism in terms that many will finally understand—”I Am A Strange Loop.” The rest of the book is about stuff many of us probably have already thought of, but it is sort of entertaining and there is some autobiographical material.
Rating—Five recursive loops out of five
