A math major's take on math and physics

[Capt Spanner]

Physicists like terrible puns. The LHC is a large collider looking for large (i.e. high energy) hadrons. If you don't believe me check this experiment out.

Also, while mathematics is basically "the formalisation of implications" that is it's great strength!

Many physical theories involve getting some implications, and working out how the mathematics relates them, and then getting the implications of that and testing them. The two fields complement each other perfectly.

Also, don't forget the important second half to the "maths is to physics as masturbation is to sex" thing: "sure, sex has practical results, but that's not why we do it."
