So, trick or truth? What *is* the mysterious connection between physics and mathematics?

The judges have now ruled and we will be announcing the winners of this year's essay contest on Wednesday. (EDIT: Winners are announced, see the list here!)

As usual, the ceremony will be hosted by FQXi's directors Max Tegmark and Anthony Aguirre, who will be joined by one of the contest sponsors Matthew Putman of Nanotronics Imaging.

And we'll be chatting with three top-placed winners.

Thank you again to all entrants and to everyone who read, rated and commented on the videos. You can still enjoy them all here -- and place your bets on the winners.

Compilations of beefed up versions of winning essays from some of our earlier contests are now available to buy. "Questioning the Foundations of Physics" is available in hardback form, and also as an e-book, as is "It from Bit, or Bit from It?". A third volume addressing how humanity should steer the future will also be available soon.
