>Obviously, proportions that are aesthetic are mathematical
Make this shape using nothing but math. Not exclusive to OP.

phyllotaxis and extrapolation of growth at the lowest energy/highest efficiency rate mother nature can offer.

>1. If God does not exist, then nothing actually, objectively matters.
An assumption based on a mortal reifying an unknown omnipotence. This is not proof of god.

>2. Some things actually, objectively matter.
What specifically matters? What object are you speaking of?

>3. Therefore, God exists.
>Because humans imagine and described that he does

"prove he does not"
"prove he does"

Both are equally useless questions because you are speaking about a concept that is "not a specific thing".

correlation=/=Causation. What is the cause to these things?

>Didn't Pythagoras fucking murder the guy who proved that sqrt2 is irrational?

Maybe maybe not, some stories say they cast him over seas and others say they banished him and erected a tombstone signifying he was dead to them. It wasn't over the square root of 2 , it was for spreading the secrets of incommensurability to the uneducated masses who didn't have a philosophical primer.

Elaborate please...

>Why do people believe that interstellar travel is a possibility given humanity's current aptitude in physics? Where we are absolutely proves that there is no possible way of traveling with such distances without bringing in /x/-tier stuff.

Unfortunately I understand how you feel about getting into the x-tier stuff, but understand that to understand the universe we must first understand how it works. Science had brought us a great distance in figuring out this question, but we have to rely on the metaphysical aspect of things when it comes to how the universe works.

People have forgotten that meta-physics and physics are the essentially the same thing. They both rely on observations, the math behind it is simply based on recordings AFTER said even happens. We as a whole have been given a scenario in which we can't actually see things for what they are, even with machines we can only see so much. We smash bits of inertia together in giant magnetic fields hoping that they'll hit each other the right way to find a result that we hypothesize, all while overlooking the very method we use to smash said particles in the first place.

Our imaginations and dis infoalso get the best of us. We have illogical notions that the universe could be a simulation, or that there's 12 or so "dimensions", or that something somehow came from nothing and will return to nothing for no reason (bigbang/heatdeath). All of these are backed with "math" which may be true, but so what. Math is simply a language, made by humans. The universe is incommensurable, perhaps if we worked like it more instead of using our tech on improving iphones and VR videogames.

On, off, on, off. That is all these devices do. The universe does not turn "on and off".
