How does mathematics relate to our physical world? It's amazing how many times we've managed to find mathematical tools to adequately describe the world—from falling bodies and planets to the structure of the atom and the global structure of the Universe. But today, we're close to exhausting our supply of simplicity: we're surrounded by complex physical systems that are difficult for us to deal with mathematically, according to renowned scientist Alexey Semikhatov. The physicist and mathematician spoke about the mathematical perspective on the structure of our reality, the strangeness of the quantum world, and more in an interview for the Scientific Russia portal.
Alexey Mikhailovich Semikhatov is a Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Chief Researcher in the Theoretical Department of the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (LPI), a science popularizer, lecturer, and television host.
