And physics is mathematics, correct?

• solarengineer 5y ago
  I thought physics is described by mathematics.
  • goatlover 5y ago
    If it's all physics, where does the math to describe it come from?
    • GoblinSlayer 5y ago
      From imagination.
      • goatlover 5y ago
        The physics imagines math to describe itself?
        • GoblinSlayer 5y ago
          Humans imagine math to describe physics.

  From one perspective, mathematics is the study of the methods of reasoning on abstract concepts. Theorems follow from any set of axioms that do not lead to any contradiction. In physics, one is usually only interested in results relating to the current universe we live in. In that sense, mathematics can be viewed as more general.

    For Tegmark, that's enough to argue reality is every possible universe of mathematics.

  > physics is mathematics, correct? Just applied linear algebra (or so claimed my professor of linear algebra...)
