Math comes before physics. It is the *backbone* and physics is absolutely
nothing without it. How would you know if your clock keeps better time than
his? You haven't shown any kind of predictable measurement. For all of you
that ignore the math behind physics, you are not a physicist anymore, you're
a *metaphysicists*.

Physics *is* math.
