Why is it true? Why does it make sense? Why is it so orderly? Studying Math, I can't help but concern myself with these questions. When you think about it, Physics is ultimately an "extension" of Math. I mean, the Universe is written in a language, Math. The Universe is written in that code, those symbols of chalk on blackboards, those symbols are everything, everything is numbers. Subatomic particles that occupy no space are like the points of a Cartesian plane that also occupy no space, and everything in Physics boils down to beautiful mathematical formulas. And I think as we make more discoveries in Physics, we'll be able to connect the dots between Math and Physics, just as the fundamental particles are like points of Geometry. So Physics can exist because Math exists. Personally, I think that's beautiful and it even makes me feel love, but at the same time it begs the question, why does Math exist at all? The way I see it, Math is very complex, and there are many subjects to study in Math, like Calculus, Topology, Algebra and all else, so my guess is that these are all the twigs and branches of a big tree, and if so, what exactly is the main trunk? In other words, think of it like unfolding origami. What was the simple, initial thing that unfolded into these more complex structures of Math? Something more simple must have given birth to these complex branches, no? And why does this main trunk, whatever it is, exists? Just why does Math exist, why does it make sense, and why is it true? How come there is order in Math instead of chaos? Is it just something inevitable, naturally occurring, that just spawns into existence straight from non existence? Maybe that's the case. Tell me your wisdom.
Why does Math exist?
Sometimes I wish I were born in 2050 instead, just so I could be alive when we make more discoveries.
Reality is unintuitive the closer you look at it. Look up quantum entanglement. Shit makes no fucking sense. We're probably just too retarded to grasp everything.
Math exists because 'it' exists.
In compute ('time') we only care if it is 1, even, or not-1-or-even
But to even do that we have to define our boundaries, which is the same as saying 'how do we define 1, in this instance?'
So our boundaries are '1', which has a unique definition of 'start of a divisor set'. So to use maths on something divisible, it has to exist. Maths cannot address 'indivisibility' because the FIRST mathematical operator you actually do is FORM THE QUESTION, which is 'defining 1' before trying to balance your equation to 0.
So the reason why maths makes sense is because it 'is' how you interact with infinity/time. If it doesn't exist then it doesn't matter, because then it is part of something outside of 'your' time.
And in truth this is the only 'true' state that can exist. Time is simply the division of 0, but to start forming equations or observations you have to somehow define '1'. So, Time = 0 / 1
Everything makes sense because you already have the number '1' to derive sense from.
Welcome to maths. It's better than religion really.
Mathematics does study objects but more fundamentally math in almost all level of abstraction is interested in relations between objects and structures arising from that.
Physics aim is not to find "true" reality but though experiments formulate models for reality with predictive power. In example Newton's law of gravitation is not exactly true but is useful model for macro scale gravity. Now these models usually describe relations between objects and so they can be translated to math. Many laws of physics take form of differential equations or PDE's for example.
Now we can use math to analyze our models and see how they actually correspond to reality and if our theories seem convincing we can make predictions about reality that our models predicts. Black holes are great example of this and many other phenomena.
It is true because it is God's left hand. Suffering.
It maskes sense because it is pure cold logic.
It is only orderly because our systematic method of accumulating knowledge has made it so.
It exists for humans so we can take knowledge and apply it where best suits. It exists by itself merely because it can be extrapolated by our biological sensors...
The main branch is pure logic.
It exists because of basic observations made by humanity as it evolved and grew in nature.
The first thing that came in math was a fixed point then another. Then a line. Geometry.
There is order in math because there is order in the universe even within chaos one can latch on to a tendril and begin working his way up a cthulu like entity to figure out it's workings.
>example in nature: House lice and humans. Who quickly figured out they could drain us of blood. Just like we figured out we could drain Gaia herself of energy...
Geometry exists because you can extrapolate it from nature. Once aware of it you can begin to see patterns of it all over the place.
Math exists because we exist. We are a part of it. We are nature. We are star dust. We are aware of it.
It makes sense because we gave it sensation.
It is true because it is what we are.
It is orderly because chaos and order are one in the same. One cannot be without the other and as such when one is applied to the other you can extrapolate their true meaning. (Hail Eris By The Way)
It is. It becomes from nothing. Well...one thing. I believe in a higher power.
>Mathematics does study objects but more fundamentally math in almost all level of abstraction
I would go even further, I would go as far as saying Mathematics is purely immaterial. And at the same time it is immaterial, it gives form to material things. It's almost as if god itself was Math, as put it, it's better than religion. And it's also somewhat related to Plato's idea of forms. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that Math is 100% immaterial but at the same time it gives birth to material things.
Maths is simply your relationship with infinity. It is all about placeholder and its different forms. Every mathematical disciple is literally trying to describe placeholder to an Nth level of abstraction for precision.
Acting is about placeholder, algebra is, so is chemistry. Either you are trying to find a placeholder to manipulate, or to remove.
Is this true why in the Fibonacci sequence the number 1 is repeated 2 times before turning into other numbers?
>to start forming equations or observations you have to somehow define '1'
This is the first 1=0+1
>So our boundaries are '1', which has a unique definition of 'start of a divisor set'. So to use maths on something divisible, it has to exist. Maths cannot address 'indivisibility' because the FIRST mathematical operator you actually do is FORM THE QUESTION, which is 'defining 1' before trying to balance your equation to 0.
After defining 1 as "true" you can keep going to the next sequence 1+1=2
First we need to have a 0 to insert the boundary for the number 1, then second we need to double the unit before making the number 2 and 3 etc.
It feels like the first number 1 doesn't exist at all and its somehow just an "idea of boundary". The second number 1 is the concrete "truth" and physical existence of the number. But when you actually create the number 2, 1+1=2, the first "idea" number 1 is also there as physical because it needs to be for the causality to work for the next in the sequence, number 2.
It feels stupid writing this and if it didn't make sense I ask, why is the number 1 repeated before the sequence starts to become different every single number?
