The Language of the Universe and its Interpreters

 It is well percepted that mathematicians are usually boring, and it’s nothing unusual for those who were introduced to mathematics by saying it, just a subject. And that’s greatly because subjects are usually boring, but languages are not (told about this in Language vs. Subjects). But still making a language a subject doesn’t matter to those who constantly use that language, in this case they are mathematicians.

Throughout the history of science, there is a glorious space for mathematicians, because they are the master of the language of prophecy. Yes, mathematics is well established in depicting the future of a state by observing the current state under a set of conditions. And that is something essential for our identity, and to make it godly, as with the help of mathematical modules we can predict the future, and predicting the future is something which was believed, can only be done by God.

Mathematical modules combined with physics is the most effective tool the human mind has ever devised till date to illustrate our understanding of the universe. In the process of understanding the universe we devised physics and mathematics but the fact is, without mathematics physics is a bit lamb. Don't get me wrong, physics is great even without mathematics as it is purely based on descriptions of phenomenons happening and happened in nature, but the point where physics is lamb without mathematics is in its ability to predict the future both quantitatively and qualitatively. And this thing forces the human mind toward the path of mathematical discovery since time immemorial, as man is a bit curious and different from other lifeforms on this planet.

From above, it is clear that mathematics sustains a large part of physics, but what about sustaining mathematics itself. Well, they are - the awesome humans called mathematicians. They sustain the language of logic, the language of the universe. They through their manly mind transcribe the language of the universe, smoothening our pave toward godliness.

They are paving our way toward a greater understanding of the universe by making discoveries and breaking the rules. 

Yes, they are breaking the rules and at the same time devising new ones for the new domains they create. Okay this may sound weird because there is real weirdness in it. Okay let’s look at some example, we all knew that there are can exist no real number whose square is a negative number, and that was a fact until a mathematician called y René Descartes broke the rule and devised a number- he called imaginary number, whose value is  denoted by i . Now, when you multiply this number by itself, i.e. square it yields you a negative integer trashing every other rule present in this regard  and simultaneously opening a new door to a new domain of mathematics called complex numbers. And this was just a drop of the ocean of the examples in this context.

That ocean of example itself is an example of how unpredictable a system can be. Yes. Mathematics is unpredictable and it has a deep history dating back to the development of set theory by  German mathematicians Richard Dedekind and Georg Cantor and the concept of self reference.

And these unpredictability further confers that we can never know everything, but that shouldn’t stop us seeking.

And that’s the weirdness of mathematics that it performs measurements and predictions on a system but it itself is quite unpredictable.

And there is a great history of mathematics’ journey from a thing that came out as a result of pure creation of the human mind to an unpredictable, undecidable matter featuring all the greatest legends of mathematics ever lived on this planet from Euclid to mathematicians in the making.

If you ever encounter that history you will encounter the weirdness of human mind that all those mathematicians had.

Sighting the legacy of mathematics  Galileo Galilei once said 

“Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe”

 And it makes sense, even though we are quite uncertain about God but we are pretty sure that mathematics describe the universe quite well even after having all those flaws and fallacies.
