If I’m wrong and the MUH is false, then physics will eventually hit an insurmountable roadblock beyond which no further progress is possible: there would be no further mathematical regularities left to discover even though we still lacked a complete description of our physical reality. For example, a convincing demonstration that there’s such a thing as fundamental randomness in the laws of nature (as opposed to deterministic observer cloning that merely feels random subjectively) would therefore refute the MUH.
