Do you believe in Physics ?
You don’t have to be so sure. Why ?
=== .
How does Physics look now?
The basis of the Physics consists of:
1.
Abstract ‘ inertial movement’.
2.
Abstract ‘ideal gas and ideal particles.’
3.
Abstract ‘absolute black body.’
4.
Abstract ‘entropy’
5.
Abstract SRT negative 4 - D space,

"Do you believe you might be face to face with God?"
I see you won't answer my question.
I will answer yours. No, I don't see how I can come "face to face" with a
figment of someone else's imagination, do you?.
I repeat my question. Do you believe that abiogenists can never be
reproduced in a lab?

Teachers surely facilitate that process.
Teaching yourself how to play is a much more difficult approach than
having a teacher. Both processes require work, but it's a lot easier
to learn from someone more skilled than yourself than to try to teach
yourself from scratch.
The same goes with mathematics and other disciplines. In principle,

Although this version of this theory is an extreme finitisim, but yet
wouldn't it be complete,consistent, and Categorical?
Would it escape Godel's incompleteness theorems 1 and 2.

Yes, this *is* a mighty entertaining rant, and very plausible too!
But rather distracting in a thread aimed at answering one person's
question about a PhD program. Do you suppose that the OP really gives
a shit about your opinion regarding the worth of academic degrees?

For large a, a good approximation is 1+1/a-ln(a-1)/ln(a)

Perhaps it is because you are by nature dippy and it is merely like
drawn to like.

That only speaks to your own limitations. Others may well draw insights
from what is meaningless to you.

Are the consequences of espousing that Platonic ideal any worse than
those of espousing, say, creationism. I very much doubt it.
If the worst that mathematics engenders is such espousal, it is in
better shape than the rest of the world.

Scholarships are to cover tuition and living expenses, such as rent
and food. You do actually need food, and probably a place to live, in
order to do mathematics.
At public universities these scholarships, even for graduate students
in mathematics, are often low enough that the students must also get
