I've heard the challenge to that claim - a true GUT would explain all of those things, including any philosophical thought. Hence philosophy is a subset of physics.
- naasking 7y agoNo, a GUT cannot explain why we should believe the mathematics of a GUT.
- oarabbus_ 7y agoSure it can - emergent property of some type of quantum behavior. Mathematics is discovered, not created by humans.
- naasking 7y ago> Mathematics is discovered, not created by humans. That's conjecture. Some philosophies of mathematics in fact disagrees with this claim, which is exactly my point. This debate we're having cannot be settled by any sort of scientific or mathematical argument, it's a purely philosophical debate about the meaning of scientific and mathematical arguments and what should or should not qualify.
