I love when mathsfags go on about how maths is eternal and once something is proved it's a fact.

How about on another planet they count in base 7, yeah you just wasted 3 millennia of your time working in base 10 hahaha.

Oh yeah, prove fermat's last theorem in base 7. good luck fags.

every evidence would be viable in other count bases? why the hell would we bother switching between several ones either way? and yes we use other ones, binary for example.

>> No.1161905

A proof valid in base-10 will be valid in base-7 after the necessary conversion. Or any base whatsoever.

in base 10, 1+ 1 = 2
in base 7, 1 + 1 = 2

Yeah, but you'd be surprised at how many people dont get base 7: 6+1=10

Except for functions in which the position of a digit is important like with happy numbers. But I have yet to see one of those that had any sort of practical use whatsoever.

Math and logic are concepts. They are not affected by anything physical, they do not exist in the realm of space and time. They were not authored by a human mind, they are independent of both minds and the Universe. If the people were to go extinct, math and logic would still be true. If the Universe were to cease to exist, they would still be true.
Amirite?

Even if you WERE dealing with some sort of mathematical concept in which base mattered (and there are very few of them afaik), then once it would proved, yes, it WOULD be a fact.

...in base 10. Just because the conditions required for a theorem to hold are limited doesn't mean the theorem isn't true.

in b4 you go fucking insane trying to think about the foundations of logic

>> No.1162012

>>1161990
I already know the foundations of logic.

We all agree that logic is something that we believe in. But, we really can't prove that logic is dependable. Can we? Because no matter how many times you observe something, that doesn't prove that it will act in that way the next time you observe it.
