Thanks for the link to that article. Very interesting. But I disagree with the language of this sentence; it contradicts the rest of the article:

"we can distinguish a world which can be explained by science from one that cannot."

"The sentence, to me, should be "we can distinguish a world which can be explained by [mathematics] from one that cannot."

"Mathematics" and "science" are not synonyms. But I agree with Leibnitz that, to paraphrase, "line explains the dots."

And also, I would like to note that; physicists use "theory of everything" to mean two things; and they exploit this meanings anarchy that they created: Even in the same sentence; by "theory of everything" a physicist may mean "a theory that will conform three famously incompatible physics theories" and "a theory that will explain the entire reality." These two definition are not the same.
