How do we come up with complex formulas to explain different life phenomenons

537 views

For example, how did a group of scientist comes up with the formula of “Delicious cake= sqrt(Eggs + flour^3)+constant C”. And is it possible for one to develop and implement the thought process into their daily life?

Most of the basic formulas aren’t really complex and built step by step. Volume of a cube is side^(3), that’s simple. Mass is density*volume, so mass of a cube would be side^(3)*density. A momentum of a moving thing is mass*speed, so a momentum of a thrown cube would be side^(3)*density*speed. And so on.

The thought process for most things isn’t really that complex: thing A depends on things B, C and D, A gets four times bigger if you double B, two times bigger if you double C and two times smaller if you double D, so it’s highly likely that A = B^(2)*C/D.

More complex things appear when you apply mathematical operations like integration but that’s still applying a well-defined operation to a simplier formula. Every part has a meaning and they combine into one large equation.
