    Mathematics is the only branch of science that will continue long after the universe ends.:-)

          You mean logic. Math is describing this in formulas. Some even make up nonsense with formulas. Wasn’t there a scientific ‘proof of god’ with flawed logic years ago?

        Except there is math in nature, such as fractals, the Fibonacci sequence, and the wave behavior or sound and light. Sure nature doesn’t have any awareness of doing math, but it is there. Not all math is made up just for our understanding.

            This conversation reminds me of the first couple times i surfed Reddit over a decade ago. It was so cool to be in a place where intelligent and interesting discussion was happening… Wish i could contribute something useful to it, but i just want to thank you all for carrying that kind of energy into the '20s 🥂

        And it has an awkward syntax. That i can have this opinion at all is already proof of it being made up. Which is applied logic btw.

      Pretty sure that when humanity dies, math dies with it, and the universe won’t give two fucks about it and continue on it’s merry way.

        Think e meant in the sense that math is true regardless of the universe (or some people believe)
