Question

What do you think of this scientists claims that mathematics and science are self-contradictory. In his books he points out major paradoxes in both science and mathematics which show that in fact their explanations and models are illogical

a person says his ideas cannot be true since we send probes to mars and have pcs the popint is which is the most ionteresting is why does science and maths work seeing they are self-contradictory -since we are told if something is self-contradictory it cant be true This author opens up a whole new area of research into how maths and science acheive the results they do when logically they cant be true THIS IS THE MYSTERY this author opens up

Answer 1

Fool.

Answer 2

I think the fact that he had to self-publish his internet book is very telling.

But I've read a little of it. Math and science predict pretty much everything we use today - computers, satellites, GPS, electricty, etc. If there really were the problems he claimed, 1+1 wouldn't equal 2, much less us sending probes to Mars.

Answer 3

Any model, being a static picture, will fall short of the dynamic reality it is meant to encapsulate. Paradoxes will arise because of this, but that is precisely because of their meaning. Logic, as a formal tool, can only bring out a clearer exposition of what is already implied by our starting premises. This is plainly illustrated by the author's conclusions, which follow only from his definition of "meaning".

Answer 4

I think it is absurd to say and prove that science and math are contradictory. Math is an essential tool to prove scientific laws. A scientific theory is built up slowly using logic, math and other scientific laws.

Answer 5

mathematics and science are not the only fields that show paradoxes.

e.g. religion: '' if god is almighty can he make a stone so heavy that he himself cant lift it?''

a lot of things in science contradict eachother. like the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics disprove eachother.

in mathematics howeever, something is excluded if it cannot be 'back tracked'

1/0 does not equal infinity because infinity * 0 NEVER equals 1. division by 0 is therefor excluded from mathematics

Answer 6

ACK! The spammer is back! Selling his publish-it-yourself books on Yahoo! ... By posting fake "questions" about "what do you think of this author's brilliant point that ."

Please report.

Answer 7

It makes me think about what Kurt G:odel had proposed.
(The incompleteness theorem -classic)

Answer 8

Clearly, he's not a scientist and he's trying to make money from gullible uninformed people.
