Question: I need to ask you a weird Question!?
Can we explain unseen phenomena through numbers!?

Can we interpret the unseen through Mathematics!?

If so enlighten me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
We rely on sight to confirm the existence of objects, but we can determine the probability of an object existing through maths!.
Look at Schr?dinger's cat paradox:
If we put a cat in a box with some poison and close it off so that we cannot see it, we do not know whether it is alive or dead!.
We can say that after a few seconds, the cat is 5% dead and 95% alive, and that after a few minutes it is 50% alive and 50% dead, or even 95% alive and 5% dead, but without looking at it we cannot determine fully whether it is alive or dead, and as such it becomes a mixture of alive and dead!.
That is the basic theory behind Quantum mechanics, that nothing might exist fully, and that even our eyes might lie to us!.
Oh well, hope that helped!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If something is unseen (I assume you mean we have no way of knowing it exists) we have no way of knowing anything about it!. Now mathematics can come up with systems that are unseen and don't relate to the world at all!. But how would you know that a particular mathematical system could be related to something that you cannot even describe, since it is unseen!?

I think the answer is NO!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

what do you mean by unseen phenomena!? There are things that are unseen like radio waves that are explained in numbers, but if you are talking about religion and using numbers to explain it, it is not possible at this time!. Numbers are a secular thing, while religion is total faith!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Quantum mechanics!.
Not only do we explain, but we manipulate and
predict things that are otherwise incomprehensible!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
