Feynman: Difference between Mathematics and Physics

"We cannot...convert this thing to any other language. You have, if you want to discuss nature, to learn about nature and to appreciate nature. It's necessary to find out the language she speaks in. She offers her information in only one form."

Heh, this rings all too true for me right now. I'm making a game that will try to make a tiny bit of fairly advanced maths at least basically accessible, while still being fun to play. (As you might imagine, this isn't exactly an easy task.)

It really is too bad that, for lots of people, mathematics feels unapproachable - it would be nice if it were very easy to make people with a near 100% non-mathematical background see and understand the power and weirdness of pure mathematics, or the mathematical part of physics.

But it's certainly not easy, which is probably why so many attempts to make some maths-based subject digestible (e.g. the abundance of 'educational' games, which are all too often just about arithmetic) just crash and burn, not least because few people seem to be even trying to figure out how to get concepts across differently.
