Re: Math: Did we discover or create it?

Mathematics transcends the physical universe and as such is both indestructable and eternal. It exists as a set of absolute principles, and when this universe comes to an end, those exact same same principles will continue on into the next universe, and the next, and the next..., and so on into infinity.

Thus it can be said that inferior mathematics is "created", while superior mathematics is "discovered".

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
