All was Made According to Measure and Numbers: A Story on the New Metaphysics of Numbers
Description:
The often-quoted sentence from the biblical book of Wisdom "Thou hast ordered all things in measure, and number, and weight" seems to being borne out by the latest discoveries in science. Following the parallel advances in mathematics and geometry, the author shows how the groundbreaking The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences article by the physicist Eugene Wigner still amazes those who practice in the fields of contemporary Physics. Arithmetic and geometry are right there in quantum physics and in Einstein's theory of relativity. But Gödel's theorem is there to temper a willingness to have at hand a theory of all reality, reminding us that a system cannot prove its own correctness.
The author explores the deep connection between Mathematics and Science. He discusses the work of Gian-Carlo Rota who used to point to "the pernicious influence of Mathematics on Philosophy". He uses the observations of these philosophers and his own insights to expound on the new "metaphysics of numbers" which pervades modern scientific and philosophical thinking.
