With math, this only and ALWAYS one answer.
Math is never a consensus.
Math proves what is science.

Dang it, Jose, now you have that Thomas Dolby earworm back in my head.

“Math is never a consensus.”

Is not 100% accurate in all matters in all contexts in all respects. But my reading on that score is decades old.

Then there’s the old math spoof a math whiz prof did demonstrating that 2 + 2 could = 5. LOL.

I don’t think you understand or appreciate the degree to which PERCEPTION is subjective in the most narrow, strict & rigid scientific contexts.

Then there’s the issue of is electricity a wave or what?

One thing if observed and 180 degrees different if not observed. And THAT’S *HARD* SCIENCE!

careful - there’s a whole study area in math about incongruities. I provide an example:

1/3+2/3=1

1/3=.3333 to infinity
2/3=.6666 to infinity

.333 to inf + .666 to inf = .99999999 to infinity

so that means .999999 to infinity = 1, but yet it isn’t

Nope. Maybe with Arithmetic, but not "Math" in general. We could start with quadratic equations that have multiple answers. Then we could move on to matrix algebra for instance. It gets even worse after that.
