NOVA did an episode recently on this. Like, what the fuck *is* it? is it just a system used to explain the physical world, or is the physical world itself mathematics? like something inherent?

Mathematical theory is really boring when you think about it. You are just manipulating #s for the sake of it. The theory almost always precedes the application problem. So it's not like you are coming up with shit to actually solve some real world problem. You are just like "hey, lol, wouldn't it be fun to see if 5,000 prime #s add up to a certain amoutn, and then what if we divided them, and what if we did X to them, and lol hey there's al ittle pattern. I think I'll call that a law!"

It's a representation of most of reality in the physical world. I can't say all, because mathematics alone has not or maybe cannot explain the essence on many things - why certain emotions give subjective feelings, or why certain colors look the way they do on a personal level. Yes you could argue color that yellow is a reflection of a specific wavelength, but still doesn't get to why yellow looks like yellow

mathematics is a way to model reality. this is what people forget. its not exact, it never was. F=ma is something mathtards obsess about, but these sorts of 'laws' just break down on a subatomic level. also there are a bunch of useless parts of math. all these autistic patterns with primes has no practical use other than cryptography which is in itself a man-made phenomenon. lol @ terrance tao spending his life trying to prove useless prime number theorems.

At the very least, the physical world can be mapped to incredible precision using math, tautological as the math may be.

Maybe reality is just as tautological, but that's beyond the scope of math.

my opinion on this is that math is a reflection of some reality, its not reality itself. anybody that believes reality IS math is a fucking moron.

my other hypothesis is that the mind is NOT the same as a complete description of the chemical processes of the brain and the nervous system.
