I keep on thinking that everything around us is basically just information. Be it DNA, atoms, or spacetime itself. And math is the set of rules that explain the interaction, flow and existence of this information. We did not uncover all the rules yet. Does this make sense?

Not really an ELI5, but sure, math is sometimes called ‘the language of the universe’. Everything in it can be described with math the same way it can be described with words.
Similarly to how it’s impossible for all words to exist or for a word to perfectly describe something, math too will always be incomplete and imperfect.
Some things will make more sense in a different language, such as binary, but for the most part it will always grow and get better at describing the universe around us
