The key was the verb "to build", human-built nuclear reactors. Clearly, the Sun is a thermonuclear reactor, and it exists independently of humans.

- jacquesm 4y agoIt doesn't even take people to build a nuclear reactor, let alone mathematics.
- cft 4y agoI am not sure what exactly "bouwen" means in Dutch, but the verb "to build" in English usually means the process of constructing something by humans or animals [1] [2]: 1. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/build https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/build 2. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/build https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/build (As opposed to say "Valley created by glacier", or "The Sun was formed through the gravitational attraction of cosmic dust particles")
- jacquesm 4y agoEven for humans it does not take math to build a nuclear reactor, you could pile a bunch of fissile material in a heap and it would happily do its thing. I really don't know what you are trying to get at here, unless you want to keep playing definition games which isn't all that interesting, regardless of what my native language is.
- naniwaduni 4y agoIt takes mathematics to design a nuclear reactor for humans to build, perhaps. But you don't demand that the construction workers building your house all be architects.
