摘要

The role of theoretical physics is to investigate, represent and thereby explain the nature of physical reality. We claim that this goal is unattainable using current standard mathematical models of physics, not just for practical reasons, but as a matter of logical necessity. Standard models of quantum theory and relativistic spacetime are logically equivalent to models in which the nature of classically observable motions is a form of necessary illusion. Consequently, no standard deductions as to the nature of space, time and motion can be deemed sound.
