Try this one out for size.

All of math is just manipulation of the number 1.

The number 1 exists because the universe exists as a single whole. Without that we would not have math as we know it.

Such knowledge truly is not meant for the 21st century.

I had a hunch when I was learning the alphabet but you don't really appreciate it until you study higher math and realize how language and math are linked in higher dimensions.

not quite, It reaches infinity in the positive and negative direction so it's like multiplying to infinity with a postive and negative at the same time

I wonder if this is possibly linked to the "i before e, except after c" rule, where c refers to the speed of light.
