As part of our Templeton-funded Proofs & Reasons project, I travelled to the ICM in Philadelphia this year, to help a collaborator run some new experiments on expert mathematicians. The ICM is an every-four-years event that you may remember as where Hilbert launched his field-defining 23 problems, or the place they announce the Fields Medals. It’s a big deal for mathematics, and we had a wonderful time both running our experiments and talking to the truly international community whose interests and abilities define modern mathematics. At the same time that ICM was running, it was hard to…
