Geometry is God Himself.” Johannes Kepler ...
Any thoughts? Well..
Assuming a god exists.. then that god would have to be everything that exists in this universe.. and it would have to be REAL, it would have to be science..
SO.. you know.. Geometry is what makes math possible.. and Math is the basis for physics.. and Physics exaplain how chemistry works.. and chemistry.. well.. It explains how biology works.. so geometry is EVERYTHING that exists.. so.. could god be geometry?

theoretical particle physics is god.

I hear of sacred geometry but this is the first I hear of geometric idolatry.

Neither do I. I was just saying.. trying to understand the logic behind Kepler's statement Plus I think its a really cool way of defining the concept of god.

Nope, that would be set theory.

I believe in Geometry, I don't believe in an omnipotent man in the sky who likes beards, and dislikes elastic socks.

Besides, I don't really think that physics is based entirely on geometry. Didn't Einstein try to describe the forces in terms of geometry, and fail?

Nonsense on the face of it.

Kepler, among other things was a woo woo mystic who first believed the orbits of the planets could be derived from the platonic solids. That didn't work, so he tried circular orbits. That didn't work so hit on fitting the ellipse to the data points observed by Tycho Brahe. Bingo. The rest is history.

In the end it was old fashioned curve fitting that did the trick for Kepler. Forget the god nonsense.

Einstein did say
"Imagination is more impportant than knowledge"

and that

" All our lauded technological progress-our very civilization-is like the axe in the hand of the pathologicalcriminal. The idea that Geometry is God would make him laugh I feel.......however, because Einstein in my humble view was an aspie with strong left and right brain focus, and belived in God, could agree that God and geometry were one.
