Hey dr.Greene.
First I wanted to thank you for writing your book « Until the end of time » it definitely shaped my understanding of reality in a manner that I find logical and convincing.. finally. I had a small insight While reading one of the chapters that I wanted to share with you and hear your opinions and positions about what I’m going to describe.
If ‘I’ is a collection of particles in a certain arrangement, thus yielding my unique self and resulting into a certain set of behavior.
If that behavior was MATH, which describes the properties of MY particles and their arrangements, So is MATH just an expression of Myself ?
Can we assume that one way of solving the mystery of MATH origin can be by saying that it’s “the mother language” of the particles that make up I ?
So it’s just a spontaneous act governed by this collection of particles.
But the reason that we do not feel so, is what you mentioned as the higher-level story. The particles that make up our brains focus on the higher-level sensations and ignore the complexity of what’s actually happening. So we feel like it’s a discovery or an invention when it actually isn’t.
