Math

Is math even real?

[Brandon !!tbkOPmI7bEB No.9819240]

If you want to be an existential cunt about anything, there's no proof anything is real.

What I will say is that math is the language of the universe. It's our most effective way of describing natural phenomena, and we've found evidence of math being the "source code" of the universe so to speak.

straight out of a pop-sci article

[Anonymous No.9819501]

Gibberish open-ended questions without any context, argument, source, reason to believe the asker has any grasp of the topic (they're asking very basic questions that would be answered with minimum research) or point are shilling. They slide good threads off the board. They dilute the value of discussion on the board. Their effortless cost -- one line of nonsense -- enables spamming in volume which would not be possible if the OP actually wrote out a proper post.
They might be from an organization that hates 4chan and wants to disrupt our ability to discuss anything. They might be from a journalist or organization researching our posters. They are not legitimate content.
Do not reply to one-line writing prompt one-post bot spam. Note that the bots who post one-line writing prompts will often state things wrongly on purpose, to provoke an emotional reaction, or a "helpful" correction. Tell new people about this phenomenon. Demand better content by only replying to good threads. Do not rely on the mods. Add flavor where herbs are missing.

You can't necessarily prove anything. The axioms of math and logic are inherently self-defined; they are found everywhere in Nature and people think that man created them, we just founded them.
Math is "real" in a materialistic world view, you can't show me "1". You can show me one of something, that be an abstraction of it. Can you use something that isn't real?
Math and other entities exist in a meta-physical world. This path led me from fedora to Catholic.

Catholicism is just a different shade of fedora on you faggot.
