On the vital difference between number theory and numerology in physics

  • Marek-Crnjac, L.

Abstract

The interrelation between pure mathematics and physics is very deep and intricate. It is similar to the duality between pure reason and reality. However, the difference between number theory and numerology when used in physics should be clear and easily sorted out. Confusion in this respect is not possible and while numerology must be deplored, number theoretical argument should be an integral part of theoretical physics.
