It is not surprising that this has led many people to claim that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maths.ed.ac.uk\/~v1ranick\/papers\/wigner.pdf\">mathematics is much more<\/a>: that the universe is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/is-the-universe-made-of-math-excerpt\/\">created by a mathematician<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So could we imagine a universe in which mathematics does not work?<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The language of mathematics<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/psychology\/sapir-whorf-hypothesis\">Sapir-Whorf hypothesis<\/a>\u00a0asserts that you cannot discuss a concept unless you have the language to describe it.<\/p>\n<p>In any science, and physics in particular, we need to describe concepts that do not map well on to any human language. One can describe an electron, but the moment we start asking questions like \u201cWhat colour is it?\u201d we start to realize the inadequacies of English.<\/p>\n<p>The colour of an object depends on the wavelengths of light reflected by it, so an electron has no colour, or more accurately, all colours. The question itself is meaningless. But ask \u201cHow does an electron behave?\u201d and the answer is, in principle, simple. In 1928, Paul A.M. Dirac wrote down\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/physics-and-astronomy\/dirac-equation\">an equation<\/a>\u00a0that describes the behaviour of an electron almost perfectly under all circumstances. This does not mean it is simple when we look at the details.<\/p>\n<p>For example, an electron behaves as a tiny magnet. The magnitude can be calculated, but the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/pdf\/1704.06996.pdf\">calculation is horrendously complicated<\/a>. Explaining an aurora, for example, requires us to understand orbital mechanics, magnetic fields and atomic physics, but at heart, these are just more mathematics.<\/p>\n<p>But it is when we think of the individual that we realize that a human commitment to logical, mathematical thinking goes much deeper. The decision to overtake a slow-moving car does not involve the explicit integration of the equations of motion, but we certainly do it implicitly. A Tesla on autopilot will actually solve them explicitly.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Predicting chaos<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>So we really should not be surprised that mathematics is not just a language for describing the external world, but in many ways the only one. But just because something can be described mathematically does not mean it can be predicted.<\/p>\n<p>One of the more remarkable discoveries of the last 50 years has been the discovery of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stsci.edu\/~lbradley\/seminar\/chaos.html\">chaotic systems<\/a>.\u201d These can be apparently simple mathematical systems that cannot be solved precisely. It turns out that many systems are chaotic in this sense. Hurricane tracks in the Caribbean are superficially similar to eclipse tracks, but we cannot predict them precisely with all the power of modern computers.<\/p>\n<p>However, we understand why: the equations that describe weather are intrinsically chaotic, so we can make accurate predictions in the short term, (about 24 hours), but these become increasingly unreliable over days. Similarly, quantum mechanics provides a theory where we know precisely what predictions cannot be made precisely. One can calculate the properties of an electron very accurately, but we cannot predict what an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1038\/d41586-018-05892-6\">individual one will do<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Hurricanes are obviously intermittent events, and we cannot predict when one will happen in advance. But the mere fact that we cannot predict an event precisely does not mean we cannot describe it when it happens. We can even handle one-off events: it is generally accepted that the universe was created in the Big Bang and we have a remarkably\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/science\/article\/origins-of-the-universe\">precise theory of that<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Designing social systems<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A whole host of social phenomena, from the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/content\/article\/stock-market-using-mathematics-finance\">stock market<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/uwspace.uwaterloo.ca\/handle\/10012\/10627\">revolutions<\/a>, lack good predictive mathematics, but we can describe what has happened and to some extent construct model systems.<\/p>\n<p>So how about personal relationships? Love may be blind, but relationships are certainly predictable. The vast majority of us choose partners inside our social class and linguistic group, so there is absolutely no doubt that is true in the statistical sense. But it is also true in the local sense. A host of dating sites make their money by algorithms that at least make some pretence at matching you to your ideal mate.<br \/>\n<center><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d6wG_sAdP0U\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>A universe that could not be described mathematically would need to be fundamentally irrational and not merely unpredictable. Just because a theory is implausible does not mean we could not describe it mathematically.<\/p>\n<p>But I do not think we live in that universe, and I suspect we cannot imagine a non-mathematical universe.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Peter Watson is Emeritus<\/em> Professor, Physics at Carleton University<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almost 400 years ago, in\u00a0The Assayer, Galileo wrote: \u201cPhilosophy is written in this grand book, the universe \u2026 [But the book] is written in the language of mathematics.\u201d He was much more than an astronomer, and this can almost be thought of as the first writing on the scientific method.
