I am convinced that a mathematician cannot truly understand the essence of mathematics without deeply comprehending the nature of the world we live in, which includes art, as I view art as akin to science. Furthermore, I believe that physics does not necessarily require mathematics to reveal the truths of nature, since nature discloses itself naturally. However, mathematics indeed needs physics and art to be fully understood. Ultimately, philosophy might engage both disciplines to further illuminate their interconnections

Richard Feynman once said: "Mathematicians don't like to do anything that's not abstract. They won't do the experiment. They won't put their hands in the water. Physicists will do it — they'll say, 'Let's try this! Let's do it!' and it makes a difference."

Richard Feynman in this video: "physics will not require a mathematical statement, that in the end the machinery will be revealed, and the laws will turn out to be simple, like the chequer board with all its apparent complexities". Here is that machinery:

I disagree with Feynman saying that the biggest breakthroughs don't need a physical model. Indeed, my life's work was based on finding such models. In the end that work has led to the simplicity Feynman eventually speaks of. Follow me for more.

@AramisBuendia 2:18 "On the other hand, sometimes the physicists reasoning is useful for mathematicians." But didn't he just say it wasn't?
