Welcome to the fray Agobot,
I'm going to answer in a different vein than the others:
Physics contradicts maths - how is this possible?
Because the math can be perfect and still wrong.
Contention - maths proves that in theory moving objects should never touch each other, physics shows the opposite.
Because the math can be perfect and still wrong.
How is this possible?
Because the math can be perfect and still wrong.
Math is based entirely on assumption, it is an intellectual abstract construction, and not part of the objective world, ie - "1" does not exist in the objective world, only in the abstract world.
As such there is no real tie between any mathematical computation and any object of the world of objective reality. Math can be used to model reality, but the model is only as good as the assumptions used in the maths, and thus whenever math and reality contradict one another it is the math that is wrong.
Bees fly. An engineer calculated that it couldn't, but it was the assumptions that the aerodynamics of man-made plane wings to the flight with bee wings that was in error.
Finding these contradiction improves our understanding of reality and our ability to model it, with theory and math.
Enjoy.
