This is of course a respectable view to me and I don’t mind him using math to arrive at that conclusion.
Professor Tegmark, like everyone else, is entitled to his views. Problem is that mathematics, sometimes, does not describe reality. Here's J.J. Thomson's, a Nobel laureate, model of the atom:
Plum pudding model.
His model is perfectly mathematical, but, it does not describe reality, at least in our Universe. Professor Tegmark really should know better.
