You want an interesting math concept? How about this theory?

Many current scientists in the field of physics are noticing a unique trend in mathematics. While for a long time it was thought that we created math, new studies are leaning towards the possibility of math making up the universe. This would explain why we can explain gravity and motion with math. Scientists are beginning to think that math is just like an ancient language that we are uncovering more and more each day. Depending how far you want to go on this theory, you could also use it to explain the relevance of the two base ideas known as existence and consciousness. Utilizing these two theories together begins to shape an idea of how the universe actually exists in a given space and how math is connected with our make up. I personally like to take that idea and combine it with the theory of epistemological solipsism to create a unique take on how to perceive the universe and its makeup. Using the foundation of epistemological solipsism in relation to existence and consciousness, you get an overall theory that is made up of mathematical components. While just a theory, it states that the mind is all there is and everything else is created by that single object. It does this by using consciousness to bend existence into the desired form. Because we stated earlier that our universe is made up of mathematics, this would include both consciousness and existence. What we can derive from this is that our minds use mathematics to create everything around including the people we know and the things we see. By utilizing all three theories in one thesis, we can argue that every single thing, idea, and person is made up of a mathematical structure (I am not just talking proportions). What this means is because it falls within the realms of mathematics, the human mind can one day understand and have a greater knowledge of the universe and its relation to everything in it. By stating that it is made up of mathematics, we are indirectly stating that it is also possible for humans to one day understand how this is all connected to other possible universes and ideas. If we just say that it was a force or evolutionary pattern that created these ideas, we are also saying that there will be a limit to what we can ever know about the universe. Again, if we use a mathematical approach, we say that through our understanding of mathematics we can understand the universe one day.

Although not so elequant, and not because of any theories, a friend of mine once had a similar though when he was slightly less than sober. It went something like 'dude.. What if were all brains and we talk to other brains and create like earth and stuff.' Your theory reminded me beautifully of that, just much more logical and much deeper. But all the same, thank you for the post haha.

Mind if I use this for my report?

That is fine with me. I am glad I was able to help. Just remember that epistemological solipsism is theorizing that the universe is independent of the individual's mind. The theory that the universe is mathematics is stating that the universe is an understandable concept through the application of mathematics. And finally, the essence of existence and consciousness while directly contrasting epistemiological solipsism, also agree with it when linking the two theories with the third. This works because the theory that mathematics makes up the universe means that each individual ideas stems from the same roots and shares similarities. In short, the idea from epistemological solipsism is an idea that came from the consciousness of an idea that was brought about by an existence (not in the form of life but in the form of spatial and universal relations). These ideas link because they both should have mathematical base properties in theory. In principle applications, it states that the mind is all there is;and this is because of its relation to consciousness and existence, that theories exist at all. With consciousness and existence being a product of mathematics due to the first theory, it is then reasonable to assume that through the applications of mathematics; anything could be defined and described on a level that mind can grasp since the mind itself is built upon a mathematical structure.

@Slenderbro

Looks like everyone else answered for me while I was away at dinner. :)

Check out a Nautilus Shell. The spiral formation is a perfect spiral that fits the sequence. Others have mentioned good examples as well. Also like I mentioned, Spiral Galaxies fit the form too.

@Double-O

Yeah, I may have worded it funny but I meant Pi (3.14). Wasn't saying it has anything to do with animals exactly but as the longest non-repeating, non-sequential number there have been people who think it might contain everything in the world if it was ran through the right filter. I don't know if that fact is true but it makes me smile none the less.

I know just about every fractal there is, my favorite being the fern; thanks for the suggestion though. Quantum physics is a really fun class if you ever contemplate taking the class.

Have you seen the movie Pi?

If I got back for another degree I might. Right now I will stick my Microbiology. :)

Not yet regrettably. It looks great. Hope to see it at some point. Assuming you are talking about "Life of Pi".

DG, I think my theory resonates with yours.
Our individuality is an illusion created voluntarily just to experience the illusion.
The isolation of our consciousness from other consciousness (from other individuals) is also a chosen experience.
Our default state is to be one with the universe and to understand everything, all the mathematics.
For example, lets say there are only 100 different things to understand anout the universe. Each represented by yes or no, 0 or 1. There would be 2 to the 100 power combinations of things understood and not understood. Each combination is easily represented mathematically.
And each combination defines a consciousness that perceives itself as an individual.
We are the ones of what we understand and the zeroes of what we don't.

I believe he is talking about the movie "Pi."  I don't think "Life of Pi" has anything to do with math.

@DeathGaara sounds much like the much sought "the One equation", or "Nature equation", sometimes also referred to as "Equation of Life", and I bet it has some other names. Any connection, or you just came to the same theory as many mathematicians using philosophical thought?

Then I guess the answer is No. :). Didn't even know "Pi" was a movie. Was only aware of "Life of Pi".

Phi is really neat how it ties in to absolutely everything alive. They didn't teach it to me in school. After I learned about it in my own I co stanly wondered why they never taught it in school.
Realy? I'm in 6th and we learned Ph

Your teacher is probably awesome :P that is, if you indeed mean Phi, not Pi. Phi is mostly a mathematical curiosity, usually only taught in special projects or university. Or, in case your teacher is really good and goes extra, not just the basic curriculum
