The Math-Physics Relationship Status: It's Complicated

The eternal rivalry between pure mathematicians and physicists captured in one perfect exchange! Math folks clutch their pearls at the mere thought of physicists saying "this term is negligible" or "let's assume this is approximately zero." Meanwhile, physics majors are out there dropping constants, rounding π to 3, and treating infinity like it's just a really big number without losing a wink of sleep. The horror! Pure mathematicians need 14 pages to prove something exists while physicists just wave their hands and say "obviously." The relationship status between these fields? It's complicated.
