Re: mathematics is a model of reality and not reality
PV = nRT is another example of how mathematical models do not fit the reality.
​
Proof that girls are evil.
​
We know that girls require time and money.
girls = time X money
​
We know that time is money, right?
Time = money
Girls = money2
​
According to a great philosopher, money is the root of all evil.
Money = Öevil
Girls = (Öevil)2 = evil
​
Therefore, we are forced to conclude that girls are evil.

Re: mathematics is a model of reality and not reality
Well, in a way, every gas is an ideal gas. However, what makes the ideal gas law not completely accurate is that we have to assume that there is no friction between the gas molecules and that energy is constant within the specific volume of space we are talking about. Neither of these are true because there is no true frictionless space and there is no true closed system.
