    Not everybody does what they do because of the topic. That's a silly proposition. Some do it because of the challenges and the kind of solutions that yield results. There's far more portion of the land of Maybe in software than in physics.

    I'm saying Gauss' understanding outclassed Coulomb's piecemeal approach. Gauss would have been in software today.

    So what would be the principle that demands a physicist to go ahead and try to figure out these details even if there is no empirical evidence? Feynman must have been on crack to have found a similarity between spin and a wobbling frisbee.

    Software theorists are much better than physicists at modeling because they are taught to use both principle based rules, and constraint based rules.

    Coloumb's Law versus Gauss' Law. Gauss was clearly in the wrong field because he could take on a topic from the outside not just the inside. Physicists can't see the forest for the trees.

    I'll counter that comment with the fact it was mathematics which predicted the existance of the positron and also the existance of neutrinos.

    The only thing that would make it possible to pass the speed of light is an expanded context and understanding of velocity, energy, etc.

    As for mathematics being there to describe, ye are of little faith.

    Particular equations may be limited but mathematics is not.

    Actually it is a good reason. One, you need to reach the speed of light first where you will be dividing by zero. Two, taking the square root of a negative number gives you a result which does not map to the number system you are using to determine energy in the first place. It's like saying your birthday is Feb 31st.

    Which do you think would come first? Rosa Parks, or Bus Boycotts?

    There's a relationship. Rosa Parks represents a statistic. It says that on that day at least one person would be ready to cause change. Once a few people were able to stand up for themselves like Rosa Parks, the Bus Boycotts were more likely to succeed.
