10 Δεκ 2020 · Euclid’s Postulate 4 is super weird. It says: “all right angles are equal.” What kind of a postulate is that? 90 degrees equals 90 degrees? A right angle is equal to itself? Why would you need to state that as an axiom? And if you do need to state it as an axiom, why only right angles?

A postulate is a statement that is assumed true without proof. A theorem is a true statement that can be proven. Listed below are six postulates and the theorem.
27 Μαΐ 2023 · A statement, also known as an axiom, which is taken to be true without proof. Postulates are the basic structure from which lemmas and theorems are derived. The whole of Euclidean geometry, for example, is based on five postulates known as Euclid’s postulates.
15 Ιουλ 2023 · Principles. The laws of nature as we understand them are the bases for all empirical sciences. They are the result of postulates (specific laws) that have passed experimental verification resulting in principles that are widely accepted and can be re-verified (using observation or experiments).
We need rules that map the physical quantities such as states, observables, and measurements to the mathematical structure of vector spaces, vectors and operators. There are several ways in which this can be done, and here we summarize these rules in terms of five postulates. Postulate 1.
Postulate is a more affixative term, axiom is more transitive. In history, the use of axiom gained favor by mathematicians challenging the permanence of posted speculation (e.g. finite observations about infinity)...thus opening the door, and paving the way, for experiments with relativity.
14 Μαρ 2022 · Most philosophers of science nowadays hold a network or postulational view of the meaning of theoretical words. However, there are many nuances to this view, and after explicitly separating them, we show what we take to be wrong with each one.
