Math Vs. Physics: The Proof Is In The Pudding

The mathematical purists spend decades proving theorems with rigorous formality, while physicists are over here like "yeah, this equation predicted a black hole and we found it, so... law." Nothing captures the disciplinary divide quite like our standards of proof. Mathematicians require absolute certainty; physicists just need something that doesn't explode the lab or contradict last week's experiment. The pragmatism is almost offensive to pure mathematicians, but hey—both approaches gave us smartphones, so who's complaining?
