Of course they are mathematically possible. You just need to

I don't see dark bands as mathematically possible since these
regions have 100% destructive interference. AG
They have destructive interference in a universe that satisfies
quantum mechanics. How do you know there isn't a universe that
satisfies Newtonian mechanics? or Harry Potter mechanics? Or
Aristotelian mechanics?

So now you're saying that everything *conceivable* is possible. But
isn't that what you criticized Jason for? AG
Yes, I did. And above I'm criticizing you for not recognizing the
difference between nomologically impossible in this universe under the
physics as we understand it, and Tegmark's everything mathematically
consistent happens in some universe.
