If it doesn’t exist, why and how do we use it?
In: Mathematics
basically you cant say ‘it doesn’t exist’ in maths. It exists because we made it exist. Its like a tool that we figured out how to use and apply in ways that work, and it does work. A stone is a stone but if you hit something with it you can call it a hammer. Same with maths, sqrt(-1) is sqrt(-1) but if i can use it to solve a problem, you see what i mean?
The beauty of maths is that it is so fundamental and universal. Any civilization that is out there will almost certainly have the same maths as us, because maths is the language of the universe.
