Our knowledge in the philosophy of science and

Hilbert's (and Russell's and Frege's) plan to
formalize arithmetic.

See, e.g., Popper's 1934 Logik der Forschunng
(published
in English in 1959 as The Logic of Scientific
Discovery) and of
course, Godel's work of the same period. Hermann
Weyl, as well,
was a major contributor to our understanding of the
boundaries
between science and mathematics (Philosophy of
Mathematics and
the Natural Sciences, 1949). You neglect also that
relativity isn't the
only claimed "foundation of physics." Quantum
Theory and String
Theory both qualify.

It sounds to me like you're an apologist for occult
science and that
you are arguing against the possibility of clear
thinking and the
mathematization of the laws of physics.<<

Patently absurd. Do you know the difference between
a mathematics axiom and a physical principle?


What is wrong
with Peano's
axioms for arithmetic?

Shubee


Nothing. Do you have a point?
