The difficulty is in the details. Small differences lead to bigger differences, like in chaos theory [0] What if the model says this coil needs to be 23.1212722 centimeter? Or two coils need to be 37.1441129 centimeters apart? How do you build that? Mathematics is always much more precise than engineering.

You need to think of what happens if it's 0.001 cm too big, small, etc. Manufacturing always involves errors and engineering requires tolerances.


Doesn’t our engineering account for that? We never build things that need that level of detail in our tolerances. Like for example an airplane.


OP "How come the mathematical modeling and simulations haven't yet yielded us the perfect design that will get things right?"


Right how come we don't have models that allows to simulate designs with bigger tolerances? That's the perfect design.
