My wonderful Mom, in love with math all her life, used to tell me that all the universe could be modeled in math. That all reason was mathematical.

Little did I know how much this very Christian woman was correct and decades ahead of her time. Bless your memory mother.

The Pythagorian sez "all is number". I say:

1. What about letters?
2. How many finger am I holding up?
3. How big was that number you smoked?
4. What's the number for 9-1-1?

Hey, I needed a String List ping this month. The Large Hadron Collider is still getting fixed by Jiffy-Lube, or maybe the Best Buy Geek Squad.

I’m sure Livio is a great mathematician but his interview wasn’t very enlightening. He was back and forth on the subject of whether or not math is an invention or discovery. First, it’s an invention of we capricious humans, different from what the jellyfish would invent if they could. Then, it’s a set of universal truths that are imbued with incredible longevity and which explain the universe even when at first they seem to explain nothing. So which is it, capricious anti-jellyfish bias or universal truth?
