Physics and Proof Theory

Bruno Woltzenlogel Paleo 1

Abstract: Axiomatization of Physics (and Science in general) has many drawbacks that are correctly criticized by opposing philosophical views of Science. This paper shows that, by giving formal proofs a more promi- nent role in the formalization, many of the drawbacks can be solved and many of the opposing views are naturally conciliated. Moreover, this ap- proach allows, by means of Proof Theory, to open new conceptual bridges between the disciplines of Physics and Computer Science.
