953 953 people viewed this event.
Mathematics has an uncanny ability to describe the physical world. It elegantly explains and predicts features of space, time, matter, energy, and gravity. But is this magnificent scientific articulation an invention of the human mind or is mathematics indelibly imprinted upon the substrate of reality? Brian Greene and leading thinkers (David Albert, Sheldon Goldstein, Silvia Jonas, Max Tegmark) parse the thorny problems of math’s existence.
This Webby-nominated program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.
