>>11560774All mathematicians do work to solve problems and further the field. We do have an interest in nature and objective reality, and recognize that the physical world is not all there is. Only through abstraction can we truly connect the dots and create a unifying approach to math.
Physicists can't see beyond 4 dimensions, or smaller than a Planck length. They had to be pressured to even think above 3 dimensions and below the atomic level. They are children, playing with the blocks mathematicians created.
Face it. We are the supreme race. Brainlet physicists will be saying the same thing hundreds of years from now.
The mathematics of today will find practical use eventually, and even if not, so what? Not everything has to be done to meet the demands of the physical world. Math is more of an art that a science, and you can't stand that even still we do better science than you.
