Did Max Tegmark talk about his Mathematical Universe hypothesis at this event (https://www.zimbio.com/photos/Brian+Cox/Michio+Kaku/rAcvFyE88Ul/World+Science+Festival)? And if that's the case, what was the opinion of Michio Kaku?

In my view, Prof. Tegmark's musings on this, at least in this paper, do not present a well-formed hypothesis, and certainly not a testable one.
