Proof the universe is more than maths

A new mathematical proof shows the universe is based on more than mathematical calculations. 
     Physicist Mir Faizal of the University of British Columbia led a team that not only showed we haven’t yet found a "Theory of Everything": they showed it is impossible. Many have tried to link Einstein’s General & Special Relativity to the mathematics of quantum physics. These accurately describe events in astronomy and events inside an atom, but linking them into a “Theory of Everything" has proved difficult. Faizal’s team point out the failure of string theory and loop quantum gravity etc before proving that all future theories will also fail.
    They showed that however future theories are created, they'll entail elements that are subject to Gödel's incompleteness theorem, Tarski's 1933 undefinability theorem, or Chaitin's incompleteness theorem. This means they can never be proved computationally.
    This conclusion means that the universe is based on more than just calculations, and the future cannot be predicted from its present state alone. 
    This prompts the question: If mathematical calculations don't determine exactly what happens in the future, then what (or who) does?
