  • El Foundational Questions Institute (Instituto de Preguntas Fundacionales), llamado FQXi, es una organización que ofrece subvenciones para "catalizar, apoyar y difundir la investigación sobre cuestiones fundamentales de la física y la cosmología".​ Fue fundado en 2005 por los cosmólogos Max Tegmark y ,​ quienes ocupan los cargos de Directores científicos. Ha organizado cuatro concursos de subvenciones en todo el mundo (en 2006, 2008, 2010 y 2013), el primero de los cuales proporcionó US $ 2 millones a 30 proyectos.​ También organiza concursos anuales de ensayos abiertos al público en general con $ 40,000 en premios otorgados por un jurado y a los mejores textos publicados en formato de libro.​ FQXi es una organización independiente sin fines de lucro financiada con fondos filantrópicos, dirigida por científicos para científicos, con un Consejo asesor científico que incluye a John Barrow, Nick Bostrom, Gregory Chaitin, David Chalmers, Alan Guth, Martin Rees, Eva Silverstein, Lee Smolin y Frank. Wilczek.​ La financiación inicial de $ 6.2 millones fue donada por la Fundación John Templeton, cuyo objetivo es reconciliar ciencia y religión. Tegmark ha declarado que el dinero llegó "sin condiciones"; El Boston Globe dijo que FQXi está dirigido por "dos investigadores muy respetados que dicen que no son religiosos. El consejo asesor científico del instituto también está lleno de los mejores científicos".​ Los críticos de la Fundación John Templeton, como Sean Carroll, también han declarado que están satisfechos de que FQXi sea independiente.​​ (es)

FQXi is an independent, philanthropically funded non-profit organization, run by scientists for scientists, with a Scientific Advisory Board including John Barrow, Nick Bostrom, Gregory Chaitin, David Chalmers, Alan Guth, Martin Rees, Eva Silverstein, Lee Smolin, and Frank Wilczek. The $6.2 million seed funding was donated by the John Templeton Foundation, whose goal is to reconcile science and religion. Tegmark has stated that the money came with "no strings attached"; The Boston Globe stated FQXi is run by "two well-respected researchers who say they are not religious. The institute's scientific advisory board is also filled with top scientists." Critics of the John Templeton Foundation such as Sean Carroll have also stated they were satisfied that the FQXi is independent. (en)
  • Il Foundational Questions Institute, abbreviato in FQXi, è un'organizzazione non profit operante nel campo della fisica, che si prefigge lo scopo di sostenere e finanziare la ricerca di base nel campo dei fondamenti della fisica e della cosmologia, con particolare riguardo a "ricercatori visionari e pionieristici" che si muovono in ambiti di frontiera trascurati o poco finanziati dagli ordinari flussi di sovvenzioni. Fondato da Max Tegmark nel 2005, ha avviato i suoi programmi di attività nel 2006. La direzione scientifica è affidata a Max Tegmark, fisico teorico del Massachusetts Institute of Technology. (it)
