numbers amaze me. there is not one thing around us that cannot be quantified.
- the dimensions of the tiles i’m standing on;
- the number of threads in my tshirt;
- time;
- how many blades of grass i have just driven past;
- the amount of steps i am taking to get somewhere;
numbers are EVERYWHERE

THEY MAKE SO MUCH SENSE! Three nines are 27? Two twos are four???
OF COURSE HOW COULD THEY NOT BE? A good cube and a good square. Everything is right with the world.
The antithesis of this is like 57 (which is not a prime number!!? !!!!! Vibes are wrong)

i have gotten into real debates with my friends for this one. but math exists in the same space in my brain as like… zeus. i’m not denying the existence of the concepts of math, but i think math and numbers are just a way humans describe the patterns we see. like how ancients used mythology to describe the patterns of weather and time. if the aliens come, there’s no way they are using y = mx + b and the quadratic formula to label that concept. they’re calling it something else.
like obviously addition and subtraction is real, but we are just applying human explanations to something that already exists and calling it math. i guess it makes more sense to say math is just a mythology.

introduced to the concept from this veritasium video. and holy shit it was like my brain exploded before my very eyes. infinite integers in strings of digits can be 0 or negative and all this counterintuitive shit. its like doing decimal mathematics but to the left of the decimal point instead.
astounding. and they proved fermat's last thm with it?????? insane
