Previously, we talked about Max Tegmark’s Level 3 Multiverse and explored some of its characteristics. Today, we will be looking at the next and the final level of the multiverse, or the Level 4 Multiverse, as proposed by Tegmark and some of its defining characteristics.
Let’s suppose for a minute that the Platonist paradigm is true and there really does exists a Theory of Everything. However, we simply haven't discovered the correct equations yet. Now, this raises an important question posed by renowned physicist John Archibald Wheeler - why these particular equations and not others? To address this question, we’ll need to explore the idea of mathematical democracy, where universes governed by different equations are equally real. Welcome to Level IV of the multiverse.
