Not a philosopher? doubt it. Not by nature? I doubt it.
Nowadays, math is trying to solve all those weid equations found by
physichist a few years ago. And trying to solve models which biologist seem
not to understand theoretically. |
Hi, hanzoganz
I can only make an example that to my opinion is a rather good view of
that the "pure" mathematician is not such a good "pure" philosopher.
Take the TOE main issue for decades... the unification of the Newton
physics and the Maxwell/Einstein/Bohr physics.
Or the unification of gravity according to Newton and electromagnetism/
quantum mechanics.
Mathematicians have tried for now about a century, with the math, to
merge these two physical fundamentals - but still has utterly failed.
One can say that the math for the classical physics (Newtonian) is a
adequate (sufficient) math. (Proved in our lunar expeditions for instance.)
And that the math for GR, SR and QM among
others, are also adequate. There is not so much wrong with these, also
empirical proved almost infinite times, maths either.
But the mathematicians can not unify it into a GUT or a TOE.
I belive it needs a philosopher to unify these two fundamentals.
This is my personal belief, also based upon the math failure described
here in this post.
You can also take this post as some kind of proof upon my belief.
Sincerely
