I don't really get why 5thCandidate has done all that maths. Can't really understand how it relates to absolute truth.
People often cite maths as having some bearing on absolute truth, but Idon't understand why. Maths is essentially abstract. It is fundamentally based on the concept of number, which is in itself based on the separation of the world into discrete entities.
Saying "There's one of these here and two of those there" is a very useful thing to be able to do, but it's subjective and merely an artefact of human perception.
As for my sig, I think I shall start a thread on that.
