... we will discuss three broad categories of world views that physicists may hold, which we label fundamentalist, mystic, and secular. They differ in their view of whether a physics framework will ultimately give access to all of reality. The three answers are, respectively: yes, the current framework; yes, a future framework; no, no framework present or future. In what follows, the fundamentalist view is advocated by Max Tegmark, the secular view by Mark Alford, and the mystic view by Piet Hut.
