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?
