Math is a truth like other truths.
It is.
Like the Laws of Physics. We discovered them. We did not create them; only in our conceptualization.
As we evolve our understanding, so too may the Math we think we know..?? or don't know

The atom bomb was discovered before it was created.

What came first? the chicken or the egg?

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.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
