"All the electrons that are in your body are not fundamental. All the electrons that exist in your body are waves of the same underlying field."
The next question is, if there are no individual things, what does math count?

- zdragnar 4y agoLocal maxima, presumably.
- still_grokking 4y agoDifferences. You can only measure (compare) something in relation to something else. If everything is homogeneous there are no measures, no clocks, and no way you could count anything.
- Eupraxias 4y agoRephrased, what do numbers represent, if there are no discrete, fundamental things? And if numbers represent the things we seem to perceive (discrete, fundamental things), though our science demonstrates that individual things are illusory. The fun part is that the science which demonstrates the illusory nature of the things that math counts is dependent on the math.
