A lot of new discoveries of quantum physics were first found on paper in mathematical equations by mathematicians and only after observed by physicists. For example Higgs boson was predicted in 1954 papers, but actually caught in 2013.

@dariianity That's a pretty cool fact. Just as da Vinci drew up tanks and flying mechanisms before their time there is so much out there that was previously discovered but slow to understand that it was ever discovered in the first place. Plus, I'm in a family of mathematicians (teachers) so learning stuff like that is pretty cool. π
