"I will... argue that... our universe is not just described by mathematics—it is mathematics. ...this hypothesis... should... be useful in narrowing down what an ultimate theory of everything can look like. The foundation of my argument is the assumption that there exists an external physical reality independent of us humans. ...Our most successful theories, such as general relativity and quantum mechanics, describe only parts of this reality... In contrast, the holy grail of theoretical physics is a theory of everything—a complete description of reality."
