Part 4/9:
Galileo introduced a profound division in our understanding of reality: a split between the empirical realm of science, characterized by quantifiable attributes like size and motion, and the inner domain of consciousness, dominated by qualities such as color and sound. This duality marked the inception of mathematical physics, heralding an era of remarkable successes in science. Yet, this journey came with an important caveat: the ambition to harness mathematical language as an exhaustive descriptor of reality had its limitations, particularly concerning consciousness.
