Mathematics has an instrumental connection with the world. It makes physics possible. Isaac Newton first had to invent calculus to develop a physical theory of dynamic motion. Without mathematics there is no physics. Bob Kolker

How do you explain it? You don't have to lecture me about Newton. Newton is not subject of this discussion. And you don't have to reply if you don't understand my question.

If I say "This is physics" does it make it physics just because I say so? If I say "This is philosophy" does it make it philosophy just because I say so? How can you tell if something is math, physics or philosophy if you never saw this thing I talk about? Introduce yourself with Shakespeare! |
