Abstract

In this paper, we use a deep mathematical result (namely, a minor modification of Kolmogorov's solution to Hilbert's 13th problem) to explain why fundamental physical equations are of second order. This same result explain why all these fundamental equations naturally lead to non-smooth solutions like singularity.
