Never mind the physical constants that one could in principle measure: yagotta wonder why these guys don't generate woo about the purely mathematical constants that just keep turning up in places they seemingly shouldn't, like e and pi. Scientists, mathematicians, and philosophers prefer simpler explanations and shorter stories; and what could be simpler than the null universe? 'The Mathematical Experience' is a book that should widen most people's perspective. One is the belief that actual infinities cannot be experienced. I like the atheist experience because it's one of the only places in my life where I can actually for for good skeptical, rational conversation, and I feel that this is anything but.
