does point really exist in reality or it is mere a mathematical concep
It is just a mathematical concept, like numbers. It is abstract. You may ask yourself questions like: "what is the size of a point ?" If it has no size, then it must be nothing. But in mathematics we measure sizes using measures, like The Lebesgue measure. The Lebesgue measure of a point is 0. But there's even uncountable sets with measure zero.does point really exist in reality or it is mere a mathematical concep
"Reality" doesn't exist as a mathematical concept - at least not as a concept that is well known enough to have a standardized definition. Mathematics itself doesn't answer the question about whether something exists "in reality".does point really exist in reality
Leave "reality" to the Philosophers. It's not a useful concept in physics either. Physics is about what is observed, not about what "really" causes what we observe.Perhaps you mean "reality" in the sense that the word is used in Philosophy or Physics.
That seems ironic considering the entire point of physics is to find mathematics and explanations that accurately conform to the evidence of "reality" based on specified parameters, which can then be applied as a general rule. Why would physicists be looking for a theory of everything if they were not interested in finding out what really causes what we observe?Leave "reality" to the Philosophers. It's not a useful concept in physics either. Physics is about what is observed, not about what "really" causes what we observe.
