I remember someone posting a Neil Degrasse Tyson video and he was interviewing a guy talking about finding equations at the root of the physical world.

Neil seemed blown away, but isn't mathematics just our interpretation of the natural laws of the universe?

Like reading Cliff's Notes and then the actual book and saying "hey these are similar!"

Good job with pointing that out. I think you are correct. I still feel the same wonder at it though. Gets me right in the pickle. I like to think about tree “experience” and stuff too. So many different ways to be and do in this universe. Understanding the world through math is batshit wild and I wonder what method a giant armillaria mellea uses to understand the world.
