How is it that math explains the physical world?

595 viewsMathematicsOther

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?

If something can me measured, you can take those numbers and figure out the math to model various properties of the universe.
