But that is of course a different question, the mystery is not that mathematics can describe the universe but that relatively simple mathematics does the job. The complexety in our universe is in the enormous number of particles in it. Could it have been different, few particles, complex rules? Maybe, at least I can not immediately come up with a good reason why not.
- Koshkin 7y ago> relatively simple mathematics does the job Well, the key word being relatively. Relative to what? Mathematics of QFT is not simple by any measure (and neither is that of fluid dynamics, for example), nor is algebraic geometry that is being pushed as a new tool of theoretical physics.
