The Nature of Truth in Mathematics

Mathematics is considered true because it provides a rigorous path to construct facts and theorems through a logical sequence of steps. However, mathematicians also acknowledge that not all true facts in mathematics are provable. The assumptions of mathematics are crucial, as history has shown that wrong assumptions have been taken as self-evident. Different mathematical universes can be built based on different starting points, leading to questions about the right mathematical universe and the potential bias of physicists who believe in a preferred mathematical universe.
