“The quantum fields, that are the key building blocks of the Universe,” Alexei Semikhatov

What is the correlation between mathematics and the physical world around us? It is, indeed, surprising how many times we’ve been able to find mathematical tools to get an acceptable description of the world — from gravitating objects and planets to the atomic model and the global structure of the Universe. Today, however, this simplicity seems to be coming to an end: all around us are complex physical systems that can hardly be approached with mathematics, says Alexei Semikhatov, a famous physicist and mathematician. The scientist discusses the mathematical view on the structure of our reality, the weirdness of the quantum world, and other themes in his interview with Scientific Russia.
