Ok, so "physics" doesn't use math in your view.

You are wrong. In my view, physics does use math.

Only in the theoretical realm, not in the observational.


I simply stated that some words (concepts) in math have diferent
definitions in physics.

Exactly. Apparently "speed", in physics, is what "velocity" is in
mathematics, according to The Sorcerer/Hexenmeister/Androcles.

This impedes communications a bit, but can't be helped.

The definitions of Position and time in math (diff geom) differ from
the physics definition.

What do want us to do about it, cry?

No. I want you's to note it. Many do not realize it.

He already did. That's why he answered "zero".

Note that Einstein had a similar problem, which was masked during
translation into the English. Most physicists, however, completely ignore
the issue since it's largely irrelevant, and a mirror changes velocity
anyway.
