| 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. |

Exciting News: The 1,600th entry was recently added to this database of mathematical fiction! Also, for those of you interested in non-fictional math books
let me (shamelessly) plug the recent release of the second edition of my soliton theory textbook.
