I pulled this off the web:

The bottom line is that logic alone can tell us nothing new about the real world. Ditto for mathematics, as Albert Einstein observed: "Insofar as mathematics is exact, it does not apply to reality; and insofar as mathematics applies to reality, it is not exact."

"Logic and math do not, and cannot, generate new truths about nature. They only expose and reformulate the truths contained in our models, theories and laws. The conclusions aren't absolute truths, but 'proximate' truths, since the raw materials upon which theories are built are based upon imperfect measurements and observations of nature."

Of course it's true. We can only find out about the world by investigation and experiment. We then use mathematics to model the world.

I'm not sure if you're trying to make some sort of point? If so it is not clear!
