I think the point was simply that there is no understanding of physics without the math, as the math is the only accurate description of the physics involved. Admittedly, "trusting math" was a poor phrasing.
- Koshkin 9y agoWe can trust math because it is trivially verifiable. Its relation to physics is somewhat complicated (e.g. verifying physics is not as trivial), and yes - you can understand a lot about physics without math - by combining direct observation with trusting the "philosopher".
