Physics IS math.
No mysticism about it.
Of course, to progressives and climate research “scientists”, math is indeed mystic.
...and it’s hard. Which is why at least one college wants to remove math from the curriculum and replace it with diversity / sensitivity training or some other liberal clap trap.
The key difference between physics and math is that the former requires a tie to reality while the latter does not.
By letting mathematicians take over physics, it has brought us to a realm of mysticism where mathematical constructs with unproven existence (e.g. black holes) are treated as facts.
Michu, Tyson, Nye - these are examples of the modern breed of celebrity-”scientist” that the field needs to resort to for lack of any continued relevance of their studies to the real world.
Physics is the “book” on the universe.
Math is the “language” in the book.
Uh, no (IMHO ). Just the measurements part. Of course that’s all they teach nowadays. Full Physics is understanding natural mechanisms and processes beyond the formulae. Knowing the fraction and function is vital to use physics but the mathematicians decided we’re done once we get a predictable answer. Takes much more work to know what causes the math to be predictable. Real science.
“Physics IS math.”
Nonsense. Mathematics is a tool of science, not science itself.
