When scientists first suggested that universe could be compared to a computer, many balked at the concept. They pointed to the ancient Greeks who envisioned a universe of spheres, and later, those who compared it to the workings of a clock. But what the research is suggesting is nothing so

Mathematics: Invented or Discovered?
Mario Livio discusses the complementary processes of mathematical invention and discovery. While we invent some mathematical concepts—such as prime and imaginary numbers—by deciding how to define them, these concepts can lead to a plethora of mathematical discoveries. Watch the Full Progr

Why Extra Dimensions Make Sense
In recent years, a growing body of work—based on the principles of quantum mechanics, cosmology, and string theory—has been steadily converging around a proposal that our universe is actually only one of many universes. Here, Brian Greene explains how the mathematics behind string theory—t
