Silvia (Sylvia) Jonas

Max Tegmark, a physicist championing the Mathematical Universe Hypothesis, argues that reality is fundamentally mathematical. Scott Aaronson, a theoretical computer scientist, delves into the implications of viewing the universe as a computer and explores limits on computation from physics. Silvia Jonas, a mathematical pluralist, discusses the set-theoretic multiverse and the independence of mathematical truths, including the continuum hypothesis. Together, they tackle profound questions about the nature of mathematics and its connection to reality.
