To develop a precise equation, all variables would have to be accounted for,including the variables of observation, then there is the variable of the observation of the observation and on ad infinitum. We can probably never create an equation that will be absolutely precise, but we can get close enough to pursue further knowledge of our universe.

Our problem at the quantum level is we do not really understand the quantum level. Can't remember who, but someone put it to me once that our approach to finding out about very small particles is akin to an alien finding out how a complex machine works without being able to look inside it, and resorting to launching machines at each other and trying to guess how they work based on the bits that come out.

But that's not the point. The point is, ALL math is objective. We cannot directly relate the math of the universe with the math we know and understand, but only because we haven't discovered it. For example, we know the math behind the distortion of space and time by mass, but we can't predict the distortion with zero error because we can't measure mass with zero error. That's just the numbers you put in, though. The math is objective and complete.

The point is that our viewpoint is subjective. The math, or knowledge of the objective world will always be incomplete, and distorted. Therefore, the math inside us "the math we know and understand" will be distorted.
And the subjective world is all we ever have.
When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.
