Part 7: Text Reading

Read the text and the statements below. Decide if the statements are true, false or perhaps the information is not given in the text.

PITY the poor science writer. Richard Feynman, the most brilliant and influential physicist of our time, once said: "If you want to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language she speaks in." That language is, of course, mathematics, which, Feynman noted, is "hard for some people".
Tough luck. "All the intellectual arguments that you can make will not communicate to deaf ears what the experience of music really is," he went on. "In the same way, all the intellectual arguments in the world will not convey an understanding of nature to those of 'the other culture'."
Let's call this Myth No 1: that science is a place apart; alien, the preserve of specialists, incomprehensible to the lay culture. If you don't have a ticket, you can't get in.
Myth No 2 is more subtle. It is that the principal task of the science writer is to popularise, to translate knowledge from one language (mathematics) to another (in this case, English), however imperfectly.
Myth No 3 is a cousin of the others: that the science writer must fall back on metaphor and poetry, like puffs of gauze, whereas the scientist builds with numbers and equations, like steel rods.
Like all good myths, they rest on half-truths. Mathematics is the language that nature speaks in, and much of science has grown distant from our common-sense understanding. Certainly, a science writer is haunted by the spectre of compromise, the feeling of having to filter a lush panorama through a flawed lens.

According to Feynman comprehension of maths has no bearing on one's understanding of nature.

One's inability to experience music is compared to one's failure to understand maths.
