Did You Know They Say Calculus Is The Language Of God. Did You Know They Tried To Hold Math Up To Infinity

I will say as a math person there is this weird degree to which it makes me like, angry to read about physics. like it just frustrates me, the way they write. it gets on fucking nerves.

The thing about the philosophy of mathematics is that there's no articulable position so absurd that some influential mathematician hasn't genuinely held to it. You 100% cannot troll these people; you could walk up to a mathematician and say "I'm a radical finitist, I reject the existence of all numbers larger than 1", and not only would that turn out to be a real thing, some maniac has worked out how to construct set theory under its constraints.

system of mathematical notation where concatenation always means multiplication and each prime number has a unique one digit symbol. so counting to ten looks like "2, 3, 22, 5, 23, 7, 222, 33, 25". the advantages of this system would be making multiplication and division trivial, as well as accurately representing the true form and identity of every positive integer according to the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. the disadvantages to this system would be everything
