I do know it, actually
we have mathematics for that
You really don't
and it reflects our reality
Math is not reality
Math is a tool
and even basic phenomena in nature explains a round earth
I have "math" that says I'm a trillionaire
Math is a tool we use to reflect reality
** MATH IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE REALITY!**
Math is a tool we use to reflect it
It is a tool
Tool
2 + 2 does not equal 5
Tool
Get this through your damn head
**TOOL!!**
how about a measurement of curvature @Pwnelius ?
Yes, I'm agreeing that it's a tool
Not a direct reflection
9.8 m/s, squared... because that's what we observe
hi!
we don't just make it up as we go along
ok cool
so making the argument that math proves nothing because it's a "tool" is nonsensical
how me get art role?
And just simply stating 9.8 m/s squared will not explain anything unless you go into more detail. Stating equations will not explain anything unless you know what those are tools for.
You still need reality outside of math
yes, you do
math is founded in reality
So, math **is not** reality.
math is founded in reality
Not always
You can do anything with math
no I can't
You can make up anything with math
I cannot divide by zero
I cannot say 2 + 2 = 5
You can
you can say 2 bananas - 3 bananas = -1 bananas
