So every result of a mathematical formula is true because it's math, right? Common sense can't be true, because there is no formula for it?

  in fact it can't. in middle ages (and indeed to this day) it is common sense that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones, yet it is blatantly false.

    Heavier object do fall faster than lighter ones, near the surface of the Earth, due to air resistance.

      air resistance has nothing to do with weight of an object, it depends object's aerodynamic drag.
