Sorry, I should have clarified: I mean I would spend all my days doubting the mathematics, rather than doubting the physical universe. If that makes sense? Of course all of mathematics can be argued to have a physical sort of root.

Chances are if you were a physicist/cosmologist you would be of the same opinion as the majority because you would be exposed to just about the same evidence.
