Re: Math and the mysterious
A couple of things:
1) Borodog makes an excellent point.
2) Wigner is a stud.
3) Above and beyond the issue of mathematics, I think there is an underlying implication in Wigner's statement that it is not a priori obvious that the world had to behave in such a regular, systematic way that could yield to human explanation at all. (I didn't read the article, perhaps he makes this explicit.) And as far as I know, there is no rational explanation for that.
