I always wished I wasn't fucking dyscalculic.Aside from more mundane day to day needs, Lack of almost all math really holds me back from being able to better understand a lot of the quantum physics and particle physics concepts I find interesting

Without maths it becomes very philosophical and counter-intuitive in nature.

Without maths it becomes very philosophical and counter-intuitive in nature.Without mathematics, it's still theory, comprehensible theory but without the theoretic equations is still comprehensible.Comprehensible, but impossible to test. One could develop theories till the cows come home, but without knowing how to crunch some numbers, there isn't a way to prove a thing. Especially since most of the things the theory is based on are too small to detect.

Without maths it becomes very philosophical and counter-intuitive in nature.Without mathematics, it's still theory, comprehensible theory but without the theoretic equations is still comprehensible.If you say so. I'd go nuts over the stuff that gave the theory its name. It's the counter-intuitive part to me.It's a bit like the general theory of relativity and speeds approaching the speed of light. There are lots of thought experiments involving classical mechanics applied on relativistic speeds, "proving" that there is no such limit. All wrong.

For instance that light behaves like particles and a wave: double slit experiment
