MATHEMATICS IS THE QUEEN OF SCIENCES

What I have pondered upon after seeing the video is that mathematics
is the queen of sciences. The language of physics and chemistry, the
language of engineering and architecture. It is the foundation of all sciences,
the foundation of all knowledge.

But so much than those typical bodies of knowledge. It is the science of

abstractions. Concepts like number, space, and change, and even musical
notes based from the video I have seen are abstractions. They are not things
that we can see nor touch always because they are ideas that we create in
our minds. With mathematics, we use these concepts to understand the world
around us, to learn how to read, manipulate, or even play with it.

It is the science of space and of form. It is the science of pattern and

order. In the video, something really fascinated me, and this was also my first
time knowing about it, is that they tried to dissect through the patterns found in
flower petals, where there is a Fibonacci botany sequence. A man on the
video says that those plants do not need to know math. In a very simple
geometric way, they set up a little machine that creates a simple Fibonacci
sequence in many cases. It’s just nature occurring in the world. It’s almost as
if we can almost translate the world, or the universe rather, using
mathematics.

Mathematics is the science of structure and of design. Structure is the

way in which something is organized. Design is the process of planning and
creating a plan or blueprint for something.

Mathematics is a also a science of logical reasoning. And on that

video, a man was trying to get a specific number of probability on how many
times a needle is cut on the horizontal lines drawn on a piece paper, and the
probability of the times that it lands between the spaces of those lines so it
does not cut. With logical reasoning, he made deductions based on premises.
It is the process of drawing conclusions from grounds of manifestation.

Mathematics is the science of space and of form. Space is the three-

dimensional expanse in which objects are located. Form is the shape or
structure of an object.

Mathematics is the science of change and of measurement. Change is

any process of transformation. Measurement is the process of determining the
quantity, size, or degree of something.

Mathematics is the science of data and of information. Data is a set of

facts or figures from which conclusions may be drawn. Information is
knowledge that is derived from data.

Ultimately, Mathematics is the queen of sciences because it is the

science of almost everything; abstractions, logical reasoning, space, form,
change, measurement, data, information, structure, and design. It is the
foundation on which we build our knowledge of the world.
DOES MATH REVEAL REALITY?

We all know that math is the language of the universe. It is the language that
describes the patterns and relationships between things. But does math
actually reveal reality, or is it just a tool that we use to understand the world
around us?

The topic is hefty and debatable. Some people believe that math is a human
invention, and therefore it is limited by our own perception. Others believe that
math is the language of the universe, and it is a way of understanding reality
itself.

Personally, I lean more towards the latter. I believe that math does reveal
reality. After all, the universe is full of patterns and relationships. And math is
the language that describes those patterns and relationships.

There are many examples of this. Based on the video, one example is the
way that math can help us understand the behavior of particles, from its mass,
to the amount electric charge, the spin, and speed of particles, those are
numbers. By understanding the patterns and relationships between particles,
we can better understand the universe as a whole.

With this, it can help us understand the cosmos. By understanding the

patterns and relationships between stars and galaxies, we can better
understand the universe as a whole.

Based on the analysis of one of the panels from the video, I think his name
was Max Tegmark, in which I would like to highlight as well is that
Mathematics is a tool which great minds over the millennia have developed to
be able to understand or explain our physical world and the universe. It’s like
Mathematics is discovered rather than invented. The things we have learned
through mathematical exploration describes real objects and dynamic
interactions. We are like living in a mathematical structure. We are a small
part of something bigger, but how does one describe that structure?
Eventually, using mathematics, we would quench for a lot answers in the
universe and would break down its complexity to make it digestible or
understandable for a human size. Thus, making our problems much more
easier to address.

There was one panel, a woman named Shelly, who said that “we can be
hopeful that empirical (observational and data-based) sciences at some point,
be able to figure out a mathematical model regarding the consciousness, or
underlying behaviour of a person.” I do not think that emotions or ideas or
even artistic perceptions can be drawn directly with mathematical models, it
does not work like that in the physical world. In the physical world. There is
always a process to better explain phenomenon, including the man-and-
himself dilemma. What is observed is the pattern, thus making mathematics
as a language to understand the patterns that human, or probability of
humans to exhibit a certain behaviour using empirical (observational and
data-based) evidences to, eventually, create a model explaining
consciousness, or underlying behaviour of a person. I have remembered
something about a court case, a depp-heard case, a psychiatrist, named
doctor Shannon Curry, who, based on research, observations, empirical
evidences and models, she was able to arrive at a conclusion that explained
the behaviour of two parties. She also formulated questions, in which, at some
point, became a deciding factor that explains a certain kind of behavior. With
math, she was able to calculate the probability of that person exhibiting that
kind of behavior. Again, there is a process.

There is this concept of knowing things about mathematics we cannot know

but intrinsically understand. Based on the woman panel in the video,
“Consciousness is left out” is something I have experienced when thinking
through a mathematical problem.

In conclusion, I believe that math does reveal reality. It is the language that
describes the patterns and relationships between things. And by
understanding those patterns and relationships, we can better understand the
universe as a whole.
