History's most successful mathematical prediction
The power of physical theory drives us to know the world in ever-finer detail. Paul Davies explains.
 

When Sir James Jeans proclaimed “God is a pure mathematician!” he was referring to the fact that most basic processes of nature obey elegant mathematical relationships. Science is so successful because theorists can use mathematics to make predictions experimenters can test.

Mathematics has been used to predict the existence of the planet Neptune, radio waves, antimatter, neutrinos, black holes, gravitational waves and the Higgs boson, to give but a few examples.

Sometimes the predictions are breathtakingly precise. Probably the most successful example of the power of physical theory concerns the curious case of the spinning electron.

The best examples are from real life and tangible;
rather than out in mythic space where ever.
Examples are many, including:
* Newton's Laws of Motion which govern the acceleration
and trajectory of automobiles, planes and trains.
* Archimedes Law of Buoyancy and Displacement is another
example.
