The Einstein black hole equation got me thinking. In a universe where so many things seem random, unexplained, and misunderstood, how can numbers on a paper explain and predict how the universe works?
It blows my mind that this concept (math) is so young relative to the universe and can be used to explain how and why things happen. Where’s the connection?
In: Mathematics
Math was made specifically to judge and explain things.
Imagine distance units, say a foot or meter. The distance itself is arbitrary, someone likely just picked it at random one day. But using that measurement, you can measure the distance between two objects.
Thats all that math is. It was made to explain and predict the world around us, because for 99% of things, everything is predetermined. Time and gravity is constant so we can predict nearly everything else.
