Everything you could possibly use to describe reality is a model. What else could it possibly be?

Everything you could possibly use to describe reality is a model. What else could it possibly be?
- drdeca 10y agoA model which is, in some sense "particularly appropriate" in addition to making good predictions?
- kapv89 10y agoA model you can talk about without mathematics. Which doesn't need mathematics to form an intuition about. STR and GTR are perfect examples of models which you can help even a layman develop an intuitive understanding of by just talking to them, without mathematics.
- nilkn 10y agoYou can certainly explain even something as sophisticated as quantum field theory to laymen if you take the right approach. Feynman did just this in his lectures on QED, now available in book form. He didn't use any math, even though he talked about his own solution to the entirely mathematical problem of renormalization in QED.
