[유튜브] 수학은 발견인가 발명인가? 영상 영어자막 Is Math A Discovery Or An Invention? Transcript
cocokaribou 2023. 10. 23. 22:27Neil Dygrasse Tyson on StarTalk Podcast
Matt : Well, while we are doing calculations, Tom Foreman on Facebook asks "is Math a discovery or an invetion"?
Charles : Beautiful, beautiful.
Neil : Don't get me started. I wanna hear Charles first.
Charles : Okay. Well, remember that my wife is a mathematician.
Neil : Yes, yes. And my wife has a Ph.D. in Mathematical Physics.
Charles : That's right. Twinsies!
Neil : So we got Math going in the family here.
Charles : And my son also, given a choice of either studying Math or Astrophysics in college, has chosen.. Math. Anyway! That's okay, we still love you.
Neil : I'm sorry.
Charles : I know! I know!
Neil : Such a disappointment. (laughs)
Matt : When did you know? Was the sign always there?
Charles : When he was a little kid, putting refrigerator magnets in strange shapes, I knew that something was up. Something was up.
Neil : He was hiding something.
Charles : Anyway! Math is something that exists by itself, but Mathematics, as we use it and formulated today, is an invention of humans. This is a clear reality of the universe. Because things will do what they are doing whether we understand them or not. And we created Math, in order to try to understand and reproduce and utilize those things that nature provides for us.
So for example, when the ancients were building pyramids, they invented geometry, right? Those pyramids would have stood anyway, if we had put them together and not known the equations. But with the equations, the ancients were able to build them.
The same is true with say, Rocket equations, that allow us to send things out into space. We could have sent things into space without knowing how to do the calculations but we wouldn't have much control.
So bottom line, the Math you we see in textbooks today, or in papers, we humans have invented that following a set of rules that nature has provided for us as a template. Neil.
Neil : I'm okay with that. I'm okay. I don't like debates about whether one word or another word best describes it. I'd rather say that maybe our language needs yet a third word, that perfectly accounts for it and then we get rid of the argument all together.
Matt : And with that would be a discovery, or an invention?
Neil : It's the word between the two, that we don't have.
Charles : Disco-vention!
Neil : It's why we argue...
Charles : (sings)
Neil : Is it a particle, or is it a wave, in quantum phy.. Why are we arguing that? It's both we just don't have a word. We tried! We tried "Wavicle". But it didn't catch up. A Wave and a particle.
Matt : Sounds like some sort of branding exercise form the 80s. This Wavicle!
Charles : 70s! 70s! Disco-vention! Okay?
Neil : The fact that math works at all, as a tool to decode the universe, is evidence, that the universe, at least the parts that have revealed itself to us, follows logical, repeatable patterns. And Math is simply a way to code for logical, repeatable patterns.
So it's remarkable that Math can describe the universe at all, except that Math is a perfectly logical system, and so is the universe. Put'em together. Of course! It's a marriage made in heaven.
Charles : Very much like music, right? Math, Music, that kind of connection. And the Beegee's understood that well with their song, Calculus, Calculus.
Neil : I thought calculus was an Emperor of Rome. (laughs) It's an old joke, I heard that a while ago.
