Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Albert Einstein wasn't good at math, but he also didn't accept quantum mechanics!. His refusal to accept quantum mechanics wasn't on scientific grounds through; it was on theistic grounds!. "God doesn't play dice" ~Einstein Most concepts in physics need no math skill or knowledge at all to understand!. On what grounds do I make this claim!? I just finished a BScH with honors in physics; my honors thesis was focused in the area of quantum field theory!. Some concepts in quantum mechanics may be difficult to explain without some reliance on math, but complex math generally wouldn't be needed!. The math comes in when you actually want to use the concepts in theoretical or experimental pursuits!. Actually, on the final exam for a 4th year quantum mechanics course I took, in addition to the "very mathematical" questions one would expect, we were asked to explain some concepts in layman's terms!. Does the whole brain "need" to be developed!? Taking what you are implying "developed" to mean here, and the meaning of the term "need," the answer is no!. This is not a "matter of opinion question!." I imagine what you are really saying is "yet really the whole brain should be developed!." I agree; I focused on science in my undergrad, taking physics with biology as a second major!. It didn't leave much room for electives but I fit in philosophy courses when I could!. I also study philosophy independently!. I recently found copies of "Discourse on Method" (Rene Descarte), "Meditations" (Rene Descarte), "Leviathan" (Thomas Hobbes), and "Problems of Philosophy" (Bertrand Russell) at a used bookstore!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Albert Einstein wasn't good at math!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes, I read one paragraph about super string and I thought, that is getting pretty close to the truth! This is changing now, without a doubt!. People are realizing that there is absolutely no seperation, the funny this is that science is spiritual, and spirituality is science as well at its highest levels!. Really makes sense when you think about it!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
