If causality is integral to reasoning then time is integral to reasoning. If time were to stop we wouldn't be able to think.

Rene Descartes walks into a bar. The bartender asks him, "Drink?"
Descartes replies, "I think not," and disappears.

*facepalm*

Mathematics and Philosophy are far more intertwined than you seem to realize. Hint: Logic. Being a "math nerd" doesn't just mean you passed Calculus class, you know. Also:

I can't believe Wikipedia allow such a flagrant use of the word "amazingly". Also, Descartes' "I think therefore I am" is far FAR more likely to be known by a philosophy nerd than a maths nerd.

Scientist is a pretty cool guy, eh studies laughter and doesn't afraid of silence.

If you've a decent facility with either of the two and you're not familiar with "I think, therefore I am", then you are lying to yourself.

If you've heard "I drink therefore I am" in the Monty Python song as a kid, you'll have heard of a shitload of philosophers in there too.

Time, reasoning and causality.
