As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true.
I think the really cool and compelling thing about math and physics is that it opens up entry to all these hypotheticals - or at least, it gives you the language to talk about them. But at the same time, if a scenario is completely disconnected from reality, it's not all that interesting.
Mathematics is a place where you can do things which you can't do in the real world.
It is even possible that laws which have not their origin in the mind may be irrational, and we can never succeed in formulating them.
The fundamental laws of physics do not describe true facts about reality. Rendered as descriptions of facts, they are false; amended to be true, they lose their explanatory force.
Writing laws based on an abstract theory, rather than reality, is a dangerous undertaking.
Whenever anyone says, 'theoretically,' they really mean, 'not really.'
The mathematical facts worthy of being studied are those which, by their analogy with other facts, are capable of leading us to the knowledge of a physical law.
All the mathematical sciences are founded on relations between physical laws and laws of numbers, so that the aim of exact science is to reduce the problems of nature to the determination of quantities by operations with numbers.
The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God.
