Unfortunately, it is generally understood that outside the world of strict mathematics (and by extension, abstract logic) it is impossible to prove a negative, or, conversely, to absolutely prove a positive.

I think you are right, and I like the fact that your statement is neutral, applying equally to positives and negatives.

as physicist Max Tegmark has pointed out the universe may itself be ultimately mathematical.

I hadn't heard of Max Tegmark, but I will try to find out more about him and his ideas.

Thanks for giving me some interesting things to consider. I thought I knew all the answers!
