Steps towards "Quantum Gravity" and the practice of science: will the merger of mathematics and physics work?
Full text linkThe author recalls general tendencies of the "mathematization" of the
sciences and derives challenges and tentative obstructions for a successful
merger of mathematics and physics on fancied steps towards "Quantum Gravity".
This is an edited version of the author's opening words to an international
workshop "Quantum Gravity: An Assessment", Denmark, May 17-18, 2008. It
followed immediately after the Quantum Gravity Summer School 2008, see

Full text linkWe recall major findings of a systematic investigation of the mathematization
of the individual sciences, conducted by the author in Bielefeld some 35 years
ago under the direction of Klaus Krickeberg, and confront them with recent
developments in physics, medicine, economics, and spectral geometry.Comment: Dedicated to Klaus Krickeberg on his 80th birthday, 21 page
