Re: Math: Did we discover or create it?
To: Chiantiglace.
Notice that I said "one might argue". I was being "hypothetical".
I did not say that it is my "position" or "conviction" that the imagination requires things that are physical. If I did, then I would be contradicting my earlier posts along with my actual conviction that the "imagination" transcends all physicality.
My rather shoddy "evidence" for this "conviction" is that "originality" can not come from anything that is already established but requires an initial non-existence of the thing that is then "created".
To me, this is "one hell of a paradox" as you put it, and personally, I sometimes think that if that paradox were ever to be resolved, then existence itself would come to an end.
In other words, the unresolvability of all such fundamental paradoxes is the fabric of existence.
That's it for me too!
Don.
