ABSTRACT
A rich man interested in breeding horses commissioned three experts, a vet, an engineer, and a theoretical physicist, to find out their best properties. After a few years they reported their results. The vet had concluded from a genetical study that brown horses were the fastest while the engineer had found that thin legs were optimum for racing. The theoretical physicist did not give up his quest at the end of the period but merely asked for more time to study the question claiming that the case of the spherical horse was proving very interesting.
