The Foundation of Mathematics
If the universe exists, mathematics must also exist. This is one of these cases where I've long believed that mathematics has a great deal of arbitrariness to it. There are particular axioms that kind of got written down by the Babylonians. And, you know, that's what we've ended up with the mathematics that we have. My wife has been telling me for 25 years, she's a mathematician, she's been telling me you're wrong about the foundations of mathematics. And finally, she's much more right than than I've been.
