Must be a White plot against Black people.
Thanks! I’ll check it out.
This topic reminds me of decades ago, when I read
“The Tao of Physics” by Fritjof Capra.
He explains and diagrams many of the priciples discussed here, but it was still difficult to wrap my mind around these processes. He even discussed how theorectically, one could move forward and backward in time, or at least a proton and electron seemed to be demostrating this feat.
From my layman electrical engineering read this seems to be a well written article on a very deep subject. Thanks.
I stick by the rule that a theory that can’t be communicated in plain language to an average 12 year old is pure crap.
Math requires symmetry. The universe is not symmetric.
One of my old professors used to say ‘Physics is the supreme court of all science. And Math is the lawyer’.
Common Core Math where 2+2=5.
Great post, LibWhacker.
I have been struggling for decades with the basic concepts involved in quantum physics.
Early in my college career, I thought I wanted to be a Physics major; I had done well in Classical physics (f=ma types of stuff).
Got into the first class in the actual physics major (Modern Physics, I think they called it), and it rapidly became obvious that I was not going to be a physicist.
This article confirms that many times over.
My impression was that math gives physics the tools it needs to work. This article seems to suggest that physics create mathematical analogs of phenomena. Those analogs mathematicians then systemize.
Likely this is not a correct characterization of the relationship between physics and mathematics.
Can you properly characterize their relationship.
My other impression from the article is that whenever the mathematicians do systemize quantum field theory—they will enable physicist to develop warp drive.

Excellent article...
Love the mathematics of QFT, as well as perturbative QCD and QED...
How many CEUs do I get for reading this post?
