In my particular comment, I meant that THE Universe (proper noun) could have different physics. Max Tegmark uses the term a bit differently, but he's quite clear about what he means.

As for your second paragraph, I really don't have any idea what you two are on about.

I'm not really interested in metaphysics, hence my opposition to the claim.

I didn't quite understand the parent, but he clearly related to Computational Complexity of operations on Countable Sets. I happen to study that subject at the moment, so I am taking this discussion as an opportunity to test my understanding.

[deleted] apparently I need to learn a bit more.

but I didn't read him and it's pretty arrogant to assume I had to. Sure, I hadn't to butt in on the discussion, but I had to read the comment to find out I didn't want to read it, first. So I felt I had to say something. I mean, I thought it was informative, but obviously I didn't hit the right tone.
