"Physical Intuition": What Is Wrong with It?

Abstract

It appears not to be known that subjecting the axioms to certain conditions, such as for instance to be physically meaningful, may interfere with the logical essence of axiomatic systems, and do so in unforeseen ways, ways that should be carefully considered and accounted for. Consequently, the use of “physical intuition" in building up axiomatic systems for various theories of Physics may lead to situations which have so far not been carefully considered.
