Nine pages without subheadlines, long lines of text with heavy paragraphs.

Could someone be so kind and make tldr; version? Please.

It's that it's surprising physical behavior fits with mathematical equations so well.

Math good, strangely effective, much science, reality deeply weird, needs more stochastic approximation of real valued functions.
