“Logic, too, also rests on assumptions that do not correspond to anything in the real world, e.g., on the assumption that there areequal things, that the same thing is identical at different points in time: but this science arose as a result of the opposite belief (that such things actually exist in the real world). And it is the same with mathematics, which would certainly never have arisen if it had been understood from the beginning that there is no such thing in nature as a perfectly straight line, a true circle, and absolute measure.” IfsWorldDifferentRealBeliefLinesResultsUnderstoodLogicOppositesAbsolutesMathematicsEqualityCirclesAssumptionReal WorldIdenticalStraight Lines Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
“Newton's theory is not 'not right', it just does not cover all distances. Contrary to popular belief, theories in science are not proven wrong, they are just replaced by more complete and convenient theories. To sound provocative, even the geocentric theory was never "proven" wrong, it is just not as convenient as the heliocentric theory, since it requires endless epicycles.” DoeScienceBeliefSoundTheoryMathematicsDistanceContraryEndlessReplacedProvenConvenientNewtonProvocativeContrary To Popular BeliefProven Wrong Author:Nathan Seiberg
“Religion has the same relation to man's heavenly condition that mathematics has to his earthly one: both the one and the other are merely the rules of the game. Belief in God and belief in numbers: local truth and truth of location.” MenReligionGamesBeliefNumbersConditionsRelationMathematicsLocalsHeavenlyLocationBelief In GodRules Of The Game Book:The Gift Source: The Gift
