  1. Tegmark's original paper, on the web by LinuxParanoid · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    There's also a BBC story on the same topic, or you can go straight to Dr. Tegmark's webpage version of his paper (with cool pics) .

    I've admired Dr. Tegmark's home page since he was a grad student, not so much for the design skills (ha!) but as an exemplar of mixing serious and non-serious publications for other colleauges and onlookers to enjoy, explore, and learn from. Tegmark gets the web. As for the science, some of it I can actually understand.

    At the risk of straying off-topic (hey, I gave you on-topic stuff above), I would also commend to the curious Slashdot reader a couple items I found facinating from the 'non-serious'section of his website:

    a very cool diagram of "Relationships between various basic mathematical structures" from his Theory of Everything paper

    and another paper addressing the question: Why does the universe have 3 spatial and 1 time dimension?
