The precision gap between disciplines is mathematical poetry. Mathematicians weep over a 0.01% error while cosmologists pop champagne when they're only wrong by a factor of 100,000. Meanwhile, some physics professor rounded π to 10 "for ease" and probably caused a disturbance in the mathematical force felt across campus. The standards are so different that if mathematicians built bridges, we'd need atomic-level precision, but if cosmologists did it, the bridge might start in New York and end up somewhere in Vermont.
