Math is just the framework we apply to try and describe physics.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

That's one of its applications, but not exclusively.

[-] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago

Everything else is physics, so yes exclusively.

What? There are clearly things in math that are not created to study or explain physics. Am I misunderstanding your point here?

[-] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

Probably. Everything is is the result of physics. And I do mean absolutely everything. I'd also argue that any math that isn't already applicable to physics simply points to something in physics we don't know about yet. It wouldn't be the first time we came up with some math before we knew what the application was.
