That's probably a fair assumption. However, as I see it, that does not necessarily mean that we cannot devise mathematical constructs that might help us to understand the nature of the Universe. Undoubtedly that is what scientists and mathematicians are striving for all the time.

If the bandying of a mixture of science, speculation, personal opinion and insults which seem to characterise this thread is anything to go by, "quot homines, tot sententiae" is still alive and well in SAGG; a situation which I applaud.

Less fortunately, there seems still to be a tendency to ignore selected "sententiae". smile

There never was nothing.
