Math doesn't explain the Universe... it (at most) describes the Universe... from a human perspective...
Math is a game.... in which the game exists to start with certain sequences of symbols (axioms) to generate, with the help of a set of rules called "inference rules", new sequences of symbols.
Within this system and set of rules one could "proof" this or that... But it's human... all too human to think that a system of subjectivity (yes... math is as subjective as anything else) could proof anything as being objective or "real" or "thruth"...
Language is a motherfucker... the fact that we have words/concepts like "truth", "infinity", "finity", etc... does that mean that these concepts are relevant or even according to "reality"? Or does it expose the character of human nature...
In my opinion "infinity" says more about human nature then it says about "infinity".... ooopssss
In my opinion "infinity" says more about human nature then it says about anything else...
