That would be magic. And it assumes reality is mathematical or logical as opposed to those being descriptive human languages. We also don't know everything about gravity or spacetime (particularly in black holes), so our math is incomplete.
- naasking 4y ago> That would be magic Yes, which is why attempting to dismiss the notion that gravity is mathematical by stating that math on a page doesn't exert a force on you is not a valid argument. > And it assumes reality is mathematical or logical as opposed to those being descriptive human languages Let's run an experiment: propose a universe in which conjunction, disjunction, negation or implication are violated. Do the properties of such a universe have anything in common with our own? If our reality necessarily preserves these properties, how could you sensibly argue that reality is not logical?
