Mathematical illness in the physics. Physicists do not dictate to Nature their laws. Laws of nature are a reality, which exists independently from the researcher. Physicists only perceives them. That is why Einstein once said that the scientists only have freedom to solve crossword, which was created by Nature. ========================= The American scientist G. Gibbs wrote: "Mathematician may say all that he wants, but physicist must maintain at least some spark of common sense “. Now common sense in the theory is not saved. In physics, it was regarded as a tradition that an obligatory condition of a good theory was a small number of parameters. Now such traditions are lost. Now the scientists in order to explain some phenomena introduce new parameters and postulates. It is an "illness" of the modern science. Physics got sick with "parametric disease". And with the help of such a method, with the help of extra parameters and postulates, one can explain anything he likes. ============================ Other kind of "illness" in physics this is misunderstanding the structure of infinity. Quantum theory approves, that at interaction between electron with Vacuum the parameters of electron (mass, charge ….) become infinite. To avoid infinity the mathematicians have thought up a «method of renormalizations». .However, R. Feynman said, that: «The method of renormalizations is a way to tidy up rubbish under a carpet». Using artificial mathematical methods, it is possible to get out of any theoretical difficulty, but the question remains: «What relation does it have towards nature? » What is the electron? "What is the purpose of interaction between electron and proton?". |
