punjabi_khota Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 So there is gonna be a talk by Mr. Mario Livio tomorrow on campus on his book with the title "Is God a Mathematician". He is going to talk about how the **** does math so accurately describe our world. Also, he argues that math is part invented and part discovered. I find all this incredibly exciting. :icflove: Anyone read that book ? Thoughts on topic ?

Because I was having this same debate with my math professors and teacher in highschool a while ago. I shall read it. Thanks for letting me know!
punjabi_khota Posted March 25, 2009 Author Posted March 25, 2009 Nah. He's a cricketer. :hysterical::hysterical:...i should have seen that coming.
Sachinism Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Nah. He's a cricketer. damn you stole my quote :finger:
coffee_rules Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 No he didnt. ﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿ He didn't go to college..you know that fact about GOD, right? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061031234900AAjjJiB
punjabi_khota Posted March 25, 2009 Author Posted March 25, 2009 **** you people and your sachin obsession. On topic please..:-p
punjabi_khota Posted March 25, 2009 Author Posted March 25, 2009 Math is boring. Textbook math taught traditionally is boring but there is way to much awesomeness to be experienced if you do it the right way.
EnterTheVoid Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Yes Khota, God is a mathematician. That is why maths is so awesome Watch the following 2 minute clip and be enlightened by the subjects intricacies :D [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqudSNbLz7E]YouTube - Amazing Mathematics!!![/ame]

Desi Cartman Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I dont like math ... which means Im not the chosen one :banghead:
cowboysfan Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 i have got to admit something-i hate math and any talk of math is like torture to me.
Guest Hiten. Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I dont like math ... which means Im not the chosen one :banghead: that's a given my friend :giggle:
Ram Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 It amazes to think how real-life phenomenon can be explained by mathematical formulae and relations. For eg, Two identical stones of mass m thrown from a height x, at a velocity always reaches the ground in time t. How can such totally random events follow such predictable outcomes? So yes, in that regard, its really really fascinating to study how mathematics can be used to explain real-world phenomena..

Assuming there is a God, and the universe is his creation then his nature seems entirely opposite to a mathematician. A mathematician generally tries to create or discover structure/order within objects. Whereas the universe always drifts towards more disorder as entropy keeps increasing.

In India, Munaf patel has to cover 10 meters of ground to stop a ball traveling at 2 inches per second and he fails. In NZ also if he has to stop a ball of any random velocity at any random distance and he fails. How can such totally random events follow such predictable outcomes?:nervous:
