I don't think math is nearly as certain as people believe
Let's take a simple problem.
2 + 2 = 4
Okay, so it equals 4... this time.
But what if halfway through the problem, the entire universe shifts in some strange way?
Hmmm?
Yeah, what if the entire known universe, along with all properties of space, time, and physics,
has some enormous shift right in the middle of YOUR math problem?
Then what?
Whenever I'm going through my checkbook, paying my bills, I think about that.
I add the numbers SO slowly... stalling .. waiting...
hoping for some interdimensional cataclysmic rift that will rend the fabric of space and time...
changing my checkbook balance FOREVER.
So far, nothing.
But I keep hoping.
