| Mathematical
Physics has Important Limitations
Since Sir Isaac Newton's Principia,
published in 1687, mathematical physics has been upheld as the role
model of science. Its ability to make accurate empirically verified
predictions is unequalled. Although it has had great success,
mathematical physics has a number of important limitations.
|
Mathematical physics
transforms the qualitative world into a skeletal quantitative world.
In this transformation, the Arrow of Time is lost as real time is
transformed into mathematical time (see
why). As a result, mathematical physics cannot explain the
whole of nature, since it cannot explain the Arrow of Time.
Furthermore, mathematical physics cannot explain irreducible,
irreversible phenomena since they are manifestations of the Arrow of
Time. |

Given these limitations, mathematical
physics is unable to explain evolution, the self-organization of
nature, and the unification of all the sciences. |
