Abstract

The nature of quantum theory seems to suggest that underlying the physical world of experiment is a deeper mathematical reality. This essay considers a physics reason for experiment not to reveal the true reality. The spirit of the EPR and Bell approaches is followed to investigate the physics of an underlying-reality being dynamically hidden from experiment by the physics itself. There being a genuine distinction between experimental-reality and underlying-reality avoids Bell’s no-go result, but is subject to Gödel’s no-go theorem instead. The “unreasonableness” of maths could leave physics with no-where to go, and impose limits on the rest of science.
