ok, i know this is really basic, but if you don't ask then nobody can help. I'm trying to understand the basic way that math works with physics. for example, if i wanted to build a time machine, why would i need to use the math of physics? why would i need to solve math equations? wouldn't i realistically need someone that knew how to build things with a wrench?
i know that's a far out example, but i really don't understand how math can make things work like that?
or how would math help us to achieve a new method of space travel??
these are questions my son has asked me and i really don't have an answer for him... please take this seriously and answer in simple terms because my knowledge of science is quite limited
