Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules... Mathematicians are more like classical composers.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It would be better for the true physics if there were no mathematicians on earth.
If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.
Physicists must feel they are in the most exciting field in the world. Their minds must be afire.
Physics is perceived as a lonesome, nerdy kind of enterprise that has very little to do with human feelings and the things that excite people day-to-day about each other. Yet physicists in their own working environment are very social creatures.
Medical physicists work in cooperation with doctors. A few medical physicists devote their time to research and teaching. A few get involved with administrative duties.
The point is that the arts are important enough to have influenced the greatest minds and talents we know. Albert Einstein said that if he were not a physicist, he would probably be a musician.
Physics is, hopefully, simple. Physicists are not.
Yeah, I am a guy working on physics outside of academia. But I'm nowhere near Einstein's caliber.
A mathematician is a person who can find analogies between theorems; a better mathematician is one who can see analogies between proofs and the best mathematician can notice analogies between theories.
Mathematicians are like managers - they want improvement without change.
