Our senses dont decode anything. They recieve the input for our minds to decode. They dont distinguish between mind and brain.

[maryloulindquist]

Right on, Sir! We need that kind of sharp perspective, particularly relative to what part math plays in our understanding of the universe. Right on point.

Science: what IS
Abrahamic religion: what OUGHT to be

[YoungGandalf]

Our senses have evolved perfectly to help us understand a universe which is full of metaphorical lions that want to eat us.

“I don’t want to be human. I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things properly, because I have to—I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language [...]" John Cavil, Battlestar Galactica

Information is gold. A duty of care 4all our five senses. Will give us a greater chance of understanding our journey in this vacuum, traveling at light speed, that may take another 13+ billions of years yet. At only 2%. Our cosmic journey continues. So much yet 2b learning, about, who else is on this journey, on the cosmic horizon. We got a long way 2go yet. B4 we at 100%.

I just wanna chill with my tribe in the savannah, maybe grab a few berries and make a nice cave painting ;(

[shlaugen]

I'm glad math has given us the reality of being eaten by a lion is a bad thing

[michaelstary]

If we are using a measurment to describe the universe then isnt it mostly assumptions based upon measurments? Not what it realy is or could be... just its measurment.

[joelalmon]

It's not I think therefore I am, it's I think therefore you are.

[NewWorldBuddha]

At the Quantum level everything is a single reality. There is no "you " or "me" and it's completelyly dynamic. Language based on the senses fragments, dichotomizes and momotomizes that reality.

[jeremyholbrook]

It's a possibility that like the universe to a human. The universe has no obligation to make sense to mathematics. New mathematical formulas are built on ideas. Yes, inevitably, mathematics is God 😂

[azeeznasser]

Mathematics too was initiated in africa. Have you heard of the Dogon people in africa ? Let us for a while leave Egypt 🇪🇬

[rsmlinar]

But arnt we limited by evolution, in terms of intelect as well. Isnt there logically a biological limit to how much we can comprehand as a species.
Even our knowlage of Mathematics has a certain limit. So truly understanding the Universe was never even on the table.
Doesnt mean we shouldnt try to get as close as humanly possible of course.

[jwarmstrong]

In other words : believe in the Math religion of numbers & listen to the Great Pencil which shows written number proof of reality

[OscarBaez-jmjq]

Aren't our senses mathematical too?🤔or where do they come from and do they have a mathematical figure😊🤔 you are separating what is combined. Unity is true power and true understanding.. measure is the key not the door or the room... But it all is one and all matters in my opinion🙃😊

[OscarBaez-jmjq]

Aren't senses mathematical too?🤔if one matters the other matter because it's all one it's all connected and combined... Unity is true power and true understanding...

[davidhatton]

You know what you know? Why is it that you can't make sense of everything that you kno? I'm more and define what it is. What younit in absolute.😊😮

[omstout]

I feel like a woman so send me to Mars to breed..

[jamiegardiner]

So what are U saying really? Are you suggesting that the universe started from a big bang? I got an A for Advanced mathematics in my last year of school and the mathematics truthfully adds to a divine Creator!
