Mathematics Cannot Capture Qualitative Reality

Galileo proposed using mathematics as the foundational tool to understand physical reality, believing it could effectively describe quantitative aspects like size, shape, motion, and particles. However, he recognized the limitations of this approach, acknowledging that mathematics fails to encapsulate qualitative experiences, such as the sensation of color or taste. There is no mathematical expression that can represent subjective experiences like the redness of an object or the flavor of spicy curry, highlighting the divide between quantitative comprehension and qualitative perception.
