Synopsis
The prize-winning essays in thisbook address the fascinating but sometimes uncomfortable relationship betweenphysics and mathematics. Ismathematics merely another natural science? Or is it the result of humancreativity? Does physics simply wear mathematics like a costume, or is math thelifeblood of physical reality? The nineteen wide-ranging, highly imaginative and oftenentertaining essays are enhanced versions of the prize-winning entries to theFQXi essay competition "Trick or Truth", which attracted over 200 submissions. The Foundational QuestionsInstitute, FQXi, catalyzes, supports, and disseminates research on questions atthe foundations of physics and cosmology, particularly new frontiers andinnovative ideas integral to a deep understanding of reality, but unlikely tobe supported by conventional funding sources.
