Einstein's idiots video 4

"most people confuses a word for the object, do not say: This is a Rose, say, this is called a Rose"

The WORD 'rose' is a concept. The object is the shape in front of us that we just identified and named. We can also have called 'it' X.

As far as Science is concerned, we need to assign a word to an object. The only purpose of naming THINGS is to associate the word with the object and to use this word consistently throughout the presentation. The word itself (concept) should not be confused with the object.

Mathematical Physics reifies concepts. MP does not even talk about objects. It takes a concept such as time or energy or force and dilates, transfers, or carries 'it'.

So, first, we need to name OBJECTS. Math Phyz fails at this level. Then, we should not confuse the arbitrary word we use to designate the object with the object itself.
