So our eyes can detect light, and our ears can detect sound waves, our skin detects temperature and density and stuff.

I've been reading up on entropy and information theory and it occurred to me that our MIND is just another sensory organ that can detect MATHS. You know how stuff is radiating heat and light, it's also radiating maths in a way. There is an underlying mathematical system to the universe.

So computers are like telescopes, letting us get a "closer look" at complex maths. Maybe one day humans will evolve to a point where we see maths like we see light now, instinctively.
 
I thought people already do see maths? Only they see it as a series of images where things like trees represent certain numbers and the same for hills and mountains. And there's people who smell in colour and see colour as smells? Some sensory thing I can't remember the name of.

I'm sure there's a theory that states the Universe is a singular mathematical equation or something like that.

There's hope of a Grand Unified Theory which would explain all the four fundamental forces in a single equation, which might be what you're thinking of. No such theory has been produced, though.

And we know when it is found we'll just end up with immortal Nazi ghosts :(
