It's called 'mathematism'. Physicists are happy if both sides of the equal sing fit together. But then refuse to answer the question, what the symbols actually represent any why they assume, they should be equal. So we have a formula like v= dx/dt and 'Gary Harnagel' refuses to accept the meaning of the term 'x'. That makes me wonder, what these guys actually do all day. TH
