| In this short story, odd anomalies that initially defy scientific explanation seem to support an new theory of mathematical physics positing the existence of "mirror universes". One character is a mathematician and artist. Defending her interest in this abstract theory in a debate against a practical physicist, she discusses the connection between symmetries and conservation laws, and also talks a bit about Emmy Noether.
Originally published in a collection called "The Woman Who Thought She Was a Planet and Other Stories", this tale was also reprinted in Uncanny Magazine Issue 20. |

Where are the new works of mathematical fiction?: As you can see from this chronological listing, this database includes many works of mathematical fiction for each year from 1990 to 2025. Strangely, only two are listed for 2026, so far. Either less mathematical fiction is being published than in previous years or I'm just having more trouble finding it. If you know of any works of fiction that should be added to this list, especially recently published ones, please let me know. (Keep in mind that I do not include self-published works or children's fiction that just covers elementary mathematical concepts.) Thanks!
