>Bohr calls a model a model
>this makes him retarded because i've made the model my belief structure
it's all so tiresome

Well /sci/, which side are you going to listen to regarding this issue?

>philosophy is the enemy of science.
philosophy is the starting point of science
science has no meaning without philosophy
math used to be associated with the philosophical faculty historically

you dont know any of this as you have understand nothing

you are retarded and urgently need to get a clue, mr. titmilk guzzler

>>12745439
Yes.

>>12736051
Is a fucking retard, listen to actual worthy scientists.

>>12703765
Must always be taken into account, otherwise you'll end up being a retard.

>As I've said already, just because our understanding of physics is not yet complete DOES NOT MEAN that physicalism is false.
And this applies the other way, saying physicalism is correct is literally wishful thinking, and very dogmatic too.

No, agnostic and deist scientists are better.

""""scientists""""" are people too, flawed people, no one is perfect.

Is about what makes the most money and keeps you in a position of authority, not about what is true or not.

Yes.

Not an argument btw. All you have done so far is fallacy.

>>11592507
This.

Most 21st century "science popularizers" are not intellectuals.

cringe and bluepilled, hopefully when you turn 18 you'll learn to ask questions

Lots of things in math look like numbers.
We learn adding and subtracting numbers in school. oh hey you can add fractions too! you can even add function and polynomials, and matrices, and vectors...

What abstract algebra does is generalize operations and structures so we can study them instead of their numerous concrete forms.
What properties are necessary for addition and multiplication to make sense? What structures have them? Once you understand them you can apply them to many mathematical situations.

Besides unlocking connections between mathematical structures, it is useful to abstract because it teaches you the essential features that make something work. This often makes hard problems easier than they would be if you have too many details.
