Math is a language that helps to express relationships within some types of reality. It does nothing for understanding love. Math is useful for expressing F = m * a. Do tell, Sam, how that math helps you to **understand** reality to the extent that it is described by F=ma. That is, what does math tell you about **why** F = ma? Please discuss, as you suggest in your sig. Remember: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." - Albert Einstein
