set theory is used by physicists. When they say that ''the mass is 10 kg'' they literally believe that there is a number 10 floating in space and somehow giving you the answer on your measuring device..

Now, what framework for numbers ? it is set theory, where numbers are encoded as sets.

Since physicists believe that the mathematical inferences describe the world, when the inferences lead to quantified/numeric facts, they equally believe that the axioms of the set theory is true.
The first axiom of set theory is ''there exists a set''. so physicists believe that there is some set floating around.

It would have been more beneficial to teach kids about the heart and stuff in school then it was math. Maybe we would have been more health conscious too

Or the brain. Make them into literally neurosurgeons. Maybe then people would be more healthy
