In physics are we going more mathematical?
Are We Becoming More Mathematical in Physics?

The discussion centers on the evolving relationship between physics and mathematics, questioning whether physics is becoming "more mathematical." It is noted that physics has historically utilized mathematics as a tool, making the term "more" seem ambiguous. Key concepts like mass, energy, and force are highlighted as lacking complete definitions, with the only constants being length and time. Participants emphasize that while mathematics serves as an essential toolbox for physics, it should not overshadow the core focus of the discipline. The conversation also invites further reading and resources to clarify these views on fundamental physical concepts.

The modifier "more" seems strange here. Physics has always made use of whatever mathematics could be useful, so l can't really see how we get to more.

Mass, energy, do not have complete definition. Force also didn't had but now it is no more. Lefts are only length and time.

Sorry, your post did not translate very well. Can you please post links to the reading you have been doing that makes you believe these things about Mass, Energy, Force, Length and Time? Thank you.rahaverhma said:

Math is the toolbox, but not the focus of study - not my quote.
