Mathematics and the Universe
#18
RE: Mathematics and the Universe
Leo, I see what you are saying, however there are many mighty minds like Roger Penrose, Paul Davies who agree with that guy's sentiments and believe that mathematics has an 'existence' of its own. A good 'reason' for this is that some 'mathematics' were discovered BEFORE they were demonstrated to 'explain' the physical world or so I have read. Is this true?
"The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility"
