merely something our brains use to cope with and explain our environment."

It is strange to convince many scientists the statement, " any invention very
original is only by intuition and not otherwise" The mathematical deductions
follow only after that. Mathematics do not come first in our dreams. Also
advanced scientific concepts rarely have straightforward expressions like ;
E=mc^2 and F=mxdv/dt. But then there is a connection between physics and
mathematics just as Keats said " truth is beauty and beauty is truth". Here the
beauty is intuition and mathematics the truth. But unfortunately the beauty is
appreciated by few people while the truth i.e mathematics the tool is taken for
granted., and tools are rarely suspected. History has seen these ups and downs of
great people. Never give up the intuition which has its roots from genuine study
and research.
