Abbott and May Kendall in Critical Survey. Author: Wolfgang Funk 1. Restricted access. All currencies in US Dollar. I apologize that I misunderstood. I am a simple firefighter! But this is true only when you literally bring them together.

Generally speaking supposing Einstein was right , one antiparticle is in every way equal to a particle, when separated. So if I have one particle and one antiparticle, I have 2 particles. But if I combine them I have nothing? However, it would sure be interesting if it turns out antiparticles have antigravity properties LOL Okay. Stay safe. I would love to know more. That is, an antimatter body and a matter body can technically orbit each other and share a gravity well.

Do you see the conundrum? It is easy to agree with Abbott on the general issue.

Patterns, in numbers and nature, inspired me to pursue mathematics – Prof. Manjul Bhargava

Personally my analysis has concluded the same long since. The empirical null hypothesis is that mathematics is a human construct, because historically it is.

So platonists et cetera philosophers needs to test their ideas of something more. You can't predict and test for something more, so that fails. He posits that a multiverse where mathematical objects theories is the universal substrate would be a simpler hypothesis.

In his hypothesis mathematics perhaps only sometimes maps to physics, especially where we live. He argues for the identity mapping as the simplest. This would presumably be tested if selection bias weak anthropicity can be tested valid and with the testable exclusion of everything else. But compared with the empirical null hypothesis it isn't simpler, because Tegmark doubles his objects. Mathematical objects is a class, physical objects is another, and he sets up a mapping in between even if he chooses the identity mapping.

One way to interpret it is that they have different properties before merging - physics is testable, for one. So this fails too, whether it is testable or not. Hence a skeptic must be an aplatonist. Spaced out Engineer. Watch me break math with english in as few words as possible. Partial differential equations of continuous or discrete contextually dependent or independent random variables Done. Subjects in and of themselves are self defining things.

Keys hide in no one thing. Is that nonsense or does it accurately describe some phenomena?

Anticipate, believe, but do not expect my fellow discoverers. Tolerate exploration on all frontiers and assist those you can in finding the universe's or perhaps multiverse's gears. Nothing is impossible. I'm possible and so are you. We will be The self knowing mind whether it is self, society, or some construct others refer to as God is unfolding. Ubavontuba also believes in perpetual motion machines and thinks he can engineer starships from his basement without math.

Don't indulge the morons. Just call them morons and move on. He also thought the LHC was so dangerous it should be moved off world over concerns of planetary destruction. But climate change This article is very subpar, and some of the comments are absolutely horrendous. Cherry picking mathematics and the fact that our human timescales may distort the actual truth are not adequate refutations of the idea that the universe is inherently mathematical or that it has a structure that we can exemplify through mathematical models. For one, different structures have different mathematical properties, so the fact that group theory, number theory, and calculus all apply to different features of the world does not mean we have "cherry picked" our way into describing the world.

In addition, it could be that the universe vanishes 5 minutes from now, even though our models don't predict any such occurrence. It would be extremely embarassing, however, to claim that this possibility makes it highly likely that our models are wrong. Just so, mathematics might not describe the universe adequately in some ways, but as of now, is has passed all the tests. Platonism for the win.

Its actually supposed to be a congruence relation, so stop using it to prove your crackpot ideas or try to suggest some sort of inconsistency in the mathematical edifice where none exists. To describe universe there are many ways. Mathematics one of them. Is math an effective way? One can describe it by photographing it. Bird, moon, Jupiter, galaxies and black holes.

All can be 'put' in one photo of proper size. Then you'll understand the problem. And picture does not know the other side of moon Jupiter etc. Another point, picture is math nevertheless. Then, with picture or math is much effective than without it. For example lenr-canr.

It is not necessary to go back to foundational concepts to learn more advanced ideas. Journal for Research in Mathematics Education , 27 , — Brown, J.

What is rather horrendous is that seemingly scientifically minded people fall for such metaphysical fallacy as Platonism. It makes zero rational sense to suggest that the universe is intrinsically 'mathematical', independent of its conceptualization in thought. That's what would qualify as Platonism, The universe of itself noumenal reality , does not have need of relating things, nor of measuring things, nor of redundently constructing models of itself. Mathematics therefore does not exist in any fashion independent of mind asking such questions. It is why Einstein had to take an Operational pov with general relativity.

Sep 07, Stupidest most nonsensical article I have ever read on physorg and there have been some pretty bad ones before this. Since when does using the right tool for the job become cherry picking? Having a set of wrenches, why would I try to build a computer?

No, I'd just cherry pick the loose nut jobs and the real nut jobs could publish an article on the ineffectiveness of wrenches.

Math is a modeling language, and is as good as the understanding of what it is being used to model.
