the physical foundations of abstract mathematics 1/ #numbertheory #maths #physics


it's honestly insane how the physical foundations of 'maths' (and the naturally 'mathematical' foundations of the physical universe) are both explicitly referred to and completely ignored all at the same time 😂 #numbertheory #maths #physics

Something we should do a better job of communicating to the public: there are really basic and fundamental questions about numbers, shapes, etc. that we don’t know the answer to, and we are working hard to answer those questions. How are prime numbers distributed? When can we…


much wow #math AND #physics BUT HOW ARE THEY RELATED 😂

This is the Math first principles that explained emergence in x domains And creates physics too @grok that right 👍✅

louder for the people at the back (and middle, and sides, and front... *all* you fuckers, basically...): basic rules of quantity and combination are quite literally laws of physics #numbertheory #maths #physics

Yu Deng, @UChicago, and Zaher Hani, @umich.edu, will receive the 2026 Leonard Eisenbud Prize for Mathematics and Physics for their fundamental contributions to the theory of dispersive PDE and, in particular, to a new understanding of wave kinetic equations. Link in comments.

explaining the connections between #numbertheory/#maths, and #physics although tbf it isn't unsolved, the explanation has been discovered it just hasn't yet been acknowledged or accepted yet but give it time 😉

What is the biggest unsolved problem in Physics today? ✍️



1. theory of everything 2. explanation for connections between #numbertheory/#maths, and #physics 3. metaphysical justification for existence of universe ...and they'll all be part of the same solution

What's a scientific mystery you believe could be solved in your lifetime?



because they forget that whatever constitutes "the universe" is actually an ongoing process? possibly a temporally static snapshot of the universe is computable but by the time you've done the computing the universe has moved on i think

Why do people assume that the universe is computable



basic principles of quantity and combination are fundamental laws of physics #numbertheory #maths #physics philpapers.org/rec/KAIEQT

the expansion of the universe through time

What astronomical phenomena might represent real-world manifestations of Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems, suggesting fundamental limits to what we can know about the cosmos?

what i love is how 1🍎 + 3🍎 = 4🍎 1🍊 + 3🍊 = 4🍊 1🚜 + 3🚜 = 4🚜 1x + 3x = 4x ...but quantitative (ie numerical) relationships *definitely* aren't physical laws 😂 no really deffo not no way not at allllllll

1 Apple 🍎 + 3 oranges 🍊 = 4 tractors 🚜

the abstraction comes from recursively applying the basic rules in evermore creative ways #numbertheory #maths #physics


xi reposted

none of these basics are abstract inventions they are observations of physical phenomena, physical objects, physical relationships so human mathematics is built on observation of how the physical world works #numbertheory #maths #physics


xi reposted

geometry started from measuring lengths, areas, volumes, angles, and investigating how the magnitudes of those are related. #numbertheory #maths #physics


xi reposted

rules of combination started from observing how the different quantities of functionally identical physical objects combine to form new quantities #numbertheory #maths #physics


xi reposted

counting systems started from naming the sequence of quantities of physical objects you get if you start with a single object, and repeatedly increase the quantity by a single object #numbertheory #maths #physics


xi reposted

in the long, long process of abstraction from early counting systems to contemporary 'maths', everyone forgot what the counting systems and rules of combination - which form the starting points for the abstraction - were originally developed from #numbertheory #maths #physics
