MATHEMATICS AND REALITY
MATHEMATICS AND REALITY
Copyright 1984 to 2005 Allen C. Goodrich Newton's equation for gravitational force F = Gm^2/L^2 is only true for particular values of L , m and G. And it provides the value of a force that does not exist in the real world. Force of gravity is an illusion which is created by the equation and which Newton assumed to exist. What does this tell us about mathematics and reality? We must be very careful to define all of the terms of the equation because it will be only these terms that are related by the equation. We must be very careful in drawing conclusions from the equation, Equations represent reality only if they are proven to be true by exhaustive experimentation and experience. And then, only to the limit of our present knowledge. This is probably the most important lesson that scientists and engineers must learn from experience. |

I asked a question like that once in a different forum, and I got a completely incoherent response. I thought it was a crazy person, but now I like you 'bot explanation better. I didn't know they had those things in here. -- "I prefer to detour the repository of tradition, wherever possible." --James Steranko |
