Mathematics:
To what extend is math a language?
Mathematics is sometimes seen as being at the opposite end of the spectrum from art in the sense that it offers us something that is built on absolute objectivity, which only works if every element of its structure is in alignment with each other. However, because mathematics is an essential tool in so many fields, and spills over into such ‘artistic’ realms as design and architecture, as well as engineering, medicine, and the social sciences, it would be quite incorrect to say that it and the arts are mutually exclusive. This makes math a form of language as it is a way of communicating and displaying ideas in many other areas of knowledge. Math is a language as it is developed and understood differently in many other cultures. Math relates more to reasoning as it’s based on facts and specific rules that are learnt. Memory is used to remember all the these basic rules while solving the equations. Nowdays math is one of the very important aspects in life as numbers are the only way that technology such as computers can responds so not only mathematicians deal with numbers but also computer programmers also deal with it.
Imagination:
to what extent can imagination shape the way we live?
Reason and Imagination are normally considered opposites in the scientific world. Many scientists choose to believe in reason instead of imagination as it offers answers while imagination offers ideas and theories. All of this returns to the theme of knowledge. A great scientist called Albert Einstein once said"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
I stand by this reasoning. Many discoveries would not have been made nowadays if imagination didn't exist. For instance, many people thought the world was flat and they stuck by it. Those who contradicted this statement where believed to have been crazy to have thought the world was round. They couldn't prove either of these theses as no one had sailed around the whole world or been to the edge of the world. Imagination lead to the ultimate fact that the world is in fact spherical. So once a point is made out of imagination then reason is added so as to make the point make sense. Imagination is a key part of our lives and how we live it. Imagination not only used in arts but also used in mathematics and in natural sciences as without it people wouldn't get their new ideas to find the reasoning behind it. This is one of the great problems that is facing the world of Quantum Mechanics at the moment. The new theory of String Theory has been announced and it has lead to some argumentation and discussion. You see this theory is almost impossible to prove as the strings themselves are so minuscule that we can not see them under any form of equipment or test in any way. This theory though may be the answer to everything. It has been accepted by many scientists even though it cannot be proved. It takes some imagination to come up with this answer and it has hardly any reason behind it meaning that scientists are turning on their own principles and choosing to believe in this theory because it seems as though it could be correct and it makes everything make sense and has a very simple answer.
Imagination is so much important, not necessarily within the natural science world but within the human world. Imagination has led us to so much more then just finding out things and what they do. Imagination has evolved us led us to important discoveries.
How important are the opinions of experts in the search of knowledge ?
Natural Sciences methodology and use of equipment and it has a more traditional approaches. experts opinion is fundamental relying on the previous theories
History there are a lot of views supported by facts from certain historical events. tit could be bias.
