Okay, but what's the implication of that? You can't get the whole quantum mechanics by just doing the generalization of probability thing?

- Koshkin 3y agoNo, because physics is not mathematics.
- notfed 3y agoUhhh...says who?
- Koshkin 3y agoSays the fact that their objects of study are different.
- dekhn 3y agoMost people. Physics uses math to model the world, but is independent (math is not a science). At least we don't have any further evidence to say otherwise. There's a lot of interesting ideas around this in https://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/~v1ranick/papers/wigner.pdf https://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/~v1ranick/papers/wigner.pdf and many of us believe that the universe itself is effectively an embedding of a large mathematical structure in a 3D-space 1D-time. But that would be effectively impossible to prove in any convincing way.
- ekm2 3y agoI would say Physics is the subset of Mathematics that describes Physical reality.The rest does not care if it is practical, just logically intact.
