That's kind of getting into the "did we create math... or did we discover math" topic. I'm actually not sure if 3 + 6 is always going to equal 9.
why?
because what happens after humans go extinct? perhaps there will be another culture or race of beings that will label these ammounts with their own symbols...
but lets say that the universe were to implode in upon itself.... and then there was another big bang. there could be a whole new universe with completely different dimensions and physics. This could make it so that numbering systems will be different. Maybe there won't even be a way to make a numbering system in the new universe? who knows?
just a thought....
