RE: Please do not conflate FACT and OPINION
1+1 = 2
Abstract maths shows us relations between numbers. Numbers themselves are concepts. How can conclusions based on concepts prove Reality?
Another thing to keep in mind is that Maths does evolve. Zero is the most popular addition of just a few centuries ago.
By definition, humans are fundamentally subjective.
Everything you know is sample-biased and a consequence of your human motives (e-motions).
FACTS exist, but they are merely TAUTOLOGICAL.
REAL-TRUE-FACT = Quantifiable, independently verifiable, rigorously defined, and or logically necessary (and emotionally meaningless).
Now, That's A Fact!!
Also, the comments are far more interesting than the post. That's some response you got!
Mathematics (logic) only has utility as a DESCRIPTION of reality.
The EFFICACY of mathematics (logic) is verified by ENGINEERING.
Mathematics (logic) in isolation is meaningless (Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems).
Mathematics (logic) cannot verify itself.
Mathematics (logic) does not DICTATE reality, it merely CORRELATES and DESCRIBES (some specific aspects of) reality.
