Max Tegmark, PhD
Professor of Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Max
Tegmark has a proud reputation as a fearless and unconventional thinker.
In this evening's discussion, to be recorded in BMC's Studio A for
television, Dr. Tegmark talks about his new book, which presents
fundamental reality as a mathematical entity, his well-known concept of
multiple universes, and also how his concepts have developed and what it
takes to think outside the box at a time when many scientists are
fearful of the risk.

In addition to his own ideas, he describes how many of the
conceptual leaps in science --certainly in physics and cosmology-- were
initially ignored or rejected.
