Synopsis

For centuries, the laws of physics have been regarded as immutable foundations of reality. But what if they were not primordial? What if the universe had to acquire them? In The Asymptotes of Reality, Mauro Corsini explores the possibility that continuity, physical law, and even intelligibility emerged through a long process of cosmic stabilization rather than existing from the beginning. From the quantum fluctuations of the earliest universe to the emergence of space-time, life, and thought, the book develops an evolutionary perspective in which some of the most fundamental features of reality may themselves possess a history. Bringing together cosmology, theoretical physics, thermodynamics, and philosophy of science, Corsini proposes a speculative yet coherent framework that reexamines the origin of physical laws, the nature of continuity, and the emergence of complexity. A thought-provoking journey to the frontiers of knowledge, where one question lies at the heart of everything: did the laws create the universe, or did the universe learn its laws?
