I don't get why this is being downvoted. For me math is pretty much a mystery, in a sense that it seems so arbitrary once you move from simple concepts that were initially grounded in a real world (like counting pebbles or splitting a circle). And it's not because I'm particularly badly educated, after all I believe we all can agree that Eugene Wigner [1] knew a bit of math and he still was wondering the same thing [2]. So soheil's question doesn't seem ignorant of meaningless to me. One could probably reframe it to become something similar to philosophy of Gödel's theorems, in lines of "there may (or may not) exist an infinite number of problems in number theories that are very simply formulated but are impossible/hard to prove or disprove". Consequence of that being that our abilities to have a definitive proof of statements are negligible and we're thus fundamentally trapped in an infinitely small space of outer mathematical universe. I'm sorry if I'm saying something stupid here (or on the contrary, some well-known fact), like I said, I know nothing about mathematics so the two are equally possible to me.
