The world can be explained with math.
New Scientist’s Ian Stewart has compiled the seven equations that you – or anything else for that matter — could not exist without.
Stewart selected the equations that can be used to describe most things in our modern lives. They explain everything from how our appliances are powered to how data is stored on our computers.
As Stewart gracefully puts it, “We are afloat on a hidden ocean of equations.”
The first equation, the Wave Equation, describes the movement of all energy waves — light, sound or heat. (All equation images are from New Scientist).

Sadly those “equations” “explain” our perception of the physical reality. Our perception may change.
