Hi everyone!
Basically what the title asks. I was wondering if there was some sort of one to one pairing between certain phenomena and math concepts. For example, I’ve heard that multiplication is an indication of interaction between two variables.
Another good example of what I mean is Maxwells equations. How was he able to figure out all the details to comprehensively describe electromagnetism? How did he know what math tool to use to depict a real world phenomena?
How can one read these equations and discern what would happen in reality?
Thanks for your time yall!

the philosophical answer is that everything can be, and will eventually, has a mathematical explination.
we all new gravity existed before Issac Newton, we all knew if you dropped something it fell towards the ground…..what we didnt have was a way to express it in math so it could be used consistently and reliably. The same thing happens in most of math and science.
we observe something, then try to define it better
