Math Vs. Physics: Two Approaches To Truth

The eternal divide between mathematicians and physicists in one perfect meme! While mathematicians spend centuries building rigorous proofs with elegant formalism, physicists are over here like "yeah that looks about right" and move on. The pragmatic "if it works, it works" approach of physics versus the pristine logical purity of mathematics is the scientific equivalent of street smarts versus book smarts. Every physicist knows that behind many elegant equations is just a glorified approximation that happens to predict reality suspiciously well. Mathematical rigor? Optional. Results? Required.
