That is a great sales pitch... but really...Free of human interpretation? Is this not exactly what point-particles and probability clouds are?
I'm concerned that the underlying nature might be ignored or missed by applying man's maths.
Was it Einstein that said God doesn't play dice?
Mathematical tools are averaging tools, often very handy at covering detail, yes for the benefit of mans quick modeling.... but is this maths really free of human interpretation? are we not applying it to nature?
You have described the math's leading science paradigm, that seems to be prevalent today.
We should not forget that mathematics can describe any amount of realities. Repeatable experiment only 1. Of theory and empiricism, the choice is always the latter..... unless we are happy to settle for paradoxes.
and why we continue to throw billions at gravity-wave antennas for things that 'must be there', are we expecting a result that is free of human interpretation.
what was einteins quote of insanity....
(gee even i'm quoting einstein alot here).
proceed with humility fellow explorer
