    Philosophy like mathematics are part of a physicists toolset.

    Mathematics is to Physics what weight lifting is to sports.

    I go away for a week and people fight my battles for me... You guys...

    Just to finesse the point - "Metaphyiscs" are literally the books that "come before Physics" in Aristotle's corpus. Aristotle called them "First Things" (never "Metaphysics") because he considered the questions they asked to be fundamental to all enquiry, including scientific enquiry.

    Today we take out Metaphysics for granted and instead of studying them Scientists skip straight to studying how to apply the Scientific Method.

    This is why so many modern Scientists are bad at philosophy.
