A field of study of numbers and
logic that is illogical. Mathematics contradicts itself. Yes, it does. Ain't it
weird? It is seen as a study that is practical; but is actually impractical, considering it is a
paradox.
Pythagoras was wrong when he said that Mathematics is an absolute. Mathematics is not an absolute - because only human beings use and recognize Mathematics. Mathematics is an abstract concept or explanation for a HAPPENING in the universe. It is not a universal law; either. It is only just a clever illusion. A language and pattern of
logic invented by human beings. (that only seems to make sense - because WE invented it; to make sense of the external universe.)
German philosopher
Friedrich Nietzsche was good in discrediting the Greeks; and making them look pretty stupid. Mathematics is only an illusion. It is not an absolute; but more of an accusation or of something that is apparent. It explains how objects
work or go together. (Kind of like in languages where
Indo-European grammar syntax is Nominative-Accusative; while the
Basque language grammar syntax is Ergative-Absolutive.)
(When you think about it; Mathematics is just as logical as
Music is. Monkeys/Apes can be taught to play instruments, but they do not understand
music. They are only doing what they are told by humans, so they get rewarded with a treat.)
There are plenty of easy logical explanations for Mathematics contradicting itself. Observe in nature:
While Mathematics
may apply to the Universe; it does not apply to Biology, organisms or life-forms. Only inanimate objects or abstract concepts. Strange huh? This is the logical problem of Mathematics. (at least; the Western version of it.)
For example: 1+1=1 most the
time; when
two humans have children. Sometimes it will equal triplets (3 children) and so on. And one can easily see the examples in Cats and
Dogs or even
Chicken/Ducks and other animals; who usually have a litter of descendants.
(And, why can't other animals do
Math? They can only be taught it by humans; or learn from experience/instinct. Just like
music instrument.)
So, I ask you, reader - if Mathematics is logical; does that mean that Life/Biology is illogical? Or is it the other way around? (That is the question. Just like "What came first - the
chicken or the egg?") If Mathematics is only illusion and not absolute; this means that Pythagoras was wrong. ) In contrast; this would possibly explain that Zeno of Elea was actually right.)
Mathematics is always 99.9% There is no such thing as 100%. (this is why like in
DNA paternity tests; the
father will always come out as 99.9999999999% etc. in relation to a baby, and never 100%)
