The Complicated Relationship Status Of Math And Physics

The perfect encapsulation of the math-physics relationship. Mathematicians see physicists as reckless approximation-lovers who write "assume a spherical cow" unironically, while physicists view math as that essential but uptight friend who won't let you have fun with your equations. The mathematician's firm "No" versus the physicist's cheerful "Yes" says it all—one bound by rigorous proofs, the other happy to round π to 3 when nobody's looking. The relationship status? It's complicated, but they're stuck with each other like quantum entanglement with less commitment.
