The Philosophy of Mathematics
I think of mathematics as something that humans invented and it's a language for describing patterns. So I don't think of the universe as being made a math, I think of math as our pattern language. The stories we tell about those primes, the things that we discover, yeah, the ancient Greeks proves that there are infinitely many of these numbers. And I think if you went out into space and you found an alien culture, I think we'd be able to start with the primes and kind of swap them around.
