This book has come into being as a result of scientific debates. And these debates have determined its structure.
The first chapter is in the form of Socratic dialogues between a
mathematician (MATH.), two physicists (pHYS. and EXP.) and a philosopher
(PHIL.). However,. although one of the authors is a theoretical physicist and the
other a mathematician, the reader must not think that their opinions have been
divided among the participants of the dialogues. We have tried to convey the
inner tension of the topic under discussion and its openness. The attitudes of
the participants reflect more the possible evaluations of the situation rather than
the actual views of the authors.
