Is exotic mathematics required to understand the physical world or does it just seem that way because math proficiency is part of how physicists establish a social hierarchy.

Our world is fundamentally mathemathic, so what do you think?

Our world is fundamentally logical. If it were fundamentally mathematical, then everything would be computable, but as Gödel has proved, it is not.
So we can describe the world a posteriori in mathematical terms, for math is (probably) the closest we can get to pure logic.

You're either 14 and/or an irredeemable retard with pop sci brainrot. All the incompleteness theorem proves is that some true statements within an axiomatic system require additional axioms to prove ie you can't brute force search math

you're confusing the mathematical tools human invented to model how the world change with what the world actually is.

The reason statements within such a system can not be proved using the system, is because such proofs would require the fundamental logic in itself to proof them.
Or simply, the logic is fundamental to the system, and the fundamentals are required to prove an entire system.

Math exists in physics just because people are comfortable counting the quantity of something. But, in the physical world, quantity maybe doesn't exist.

Our world is quantum, so it actually very much exists at the most fundamental level.

Our world needs to be atomic (in greek meaning) for existing quantity.
But yesterday atom is atom, today is quantum, and next day is whatever else.

Well our world *is* atomic (in greek meaning). The ancient greek Demo-something even proved it to you using logic.

>if matter was infinitely divisible into smaller and smaller pieces
I doubt about existing matter. What is matter. You can show me matter?
>so you'd end up with dimensionless dots
If you can using only maths. Why dots are dimensionless if, probably, they are too can be divesible.
>how come something be finite (with a specific size) and infinite (contain an infinite number of parts) at the same time?
If you can make some standard matter, like meter, it's not meaning matter is finite.
>therefore, the world is atomic and made up of indivisible particles.
Therefore there is not proof and idea of atomic world is doubtful, cause it's unprovable, like all other concepts of our world in philosophy.

If they're divisible, then you haven't finished dividing them.

Why? Where proof that? Dimensionless dots can be divide into 1/2 (or 1/x) dimensionless dots via some abstraction.

Only a basic understanding of any given field of mathematics is necessary to understand the physical world at a conceptual level. But these simpler mathematical tools aren't good for describing or predicting more complex behavior. More complicated mathematics is needed to approximate the behaviors of more complicated systems.

You'd like to think that because it makes it seem like the things you don't know aren't really important and you are really smarter than the physicists who are acting irrationally.

most of the math is 100 years old and you'll need it just to understand what's been done so far.

Physicists are some of the most autistic anti-social fucks I've ever seen. I can't imagine how hellish it is to try and fit into their miserable bag of navel gazing fuckery.
Also, esoteric mathematics doesn't help you understand the physical world. It helps you understand how physicists model physical processes in an inferential sense. The map and the territory are not the same thing.

False. Gödel's theorems are a problem of (first order) logic, not of math in general. There are axiomatic systems in math to which Gödel's incompleteness theorem does not apply.
>>16418748
You are just as ignorant as him. Don't sperg out at the mentioning of Gödel when you yourself don't understand his theorems.

infinitely divisible =/= infinite in length, you can divide 1 into infinitely continuous segments yet it's no longer than the tip of your thumb

I get super frustrated when I see youtube physics courses that dont introduce mathematical concepts. The professor just writes Bra-Kets onto the board: "We denote a Vektor this way".
No mention what a Vektor is. No mention of Riesz-Representation-Theorem that allows for this. No mention of what a Hilber-Space constitutes. How is anybody supposed to truly understand what is written on the board, without these concepts?
This gives people a false impression of knowing something about Quantum-Mechanics when in reality they cant even solve the electron in a potential well problem...
I myself am an absolut math-noob. But at least I know, that some explanations are empty and laquing. I try to be more involved with experimental physics, where this tends to be less important.
Or in other words: Shut up and calculate.

The flavor of this story is that someone did something wrong with power for his/her own pleasure gain, and the people under him/her suffered. And that's basically what's going on, our system is flawed. No reason why not to change that now we've discovered so much

We understand very little about the brain apart from it's lobotomy and analysis of thoughts progressing. Perhaps the brain is more than it's organ/muscle in the head and actually has a lot external to the body.
