Is it possible to have physics without mathematics?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between science and mathematics, questioning whether science can exist independently of mathematical principles. It is asserted that physics, as a branch of science, inherently relies on mathematics, making it impossible to separate the two. In contrast, fields like literary theory are mentioned as examples of disciplines that can be considered scientific without a mathematical foundation. The conversation emphasizes that while certain areas of study may not require mathematics, the core scientific disciplines, particularly physics, fundamentally depend on mathematical frameworks.

Define what you mean by "science". Physics without math doesn't exist, literary theory does.
