💠 The unreasonable relationship between mathematics and physics


People often talk about the "unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics" — a phrase coined by the physicist Eugene Wigner in 1960 to capture the idea that mathematics describes the physical world far better than you'd expect from a mere human-made tool. Indeed, many physicists feel that mathematics expresses something deep about the nature of physical reality.

Why do they feel that? And can physics return the favour
