I don&#x27;t understand why people still believe in this concept. For me it&#x27;s quite simple:<p>1. Our nervous system has quite narrow and well defined capability of receiving signals from the outside world. Every of our senses has own limitations. We can&#x27;t see UV or IR etc.<p>2. Our body has a specific way of interacting with the world : we have specific size, strength, have to operate as one, undivided entity etc.<p>3. With such input coming from the above points, our brain creates a specific model of the outside world to function in it, interact, count apples and lions etc.<p>4. Part of this model is this cool toolset containing math and logic. It&#x27;s very useful for us to predict and analyze the world and it&#x27;s so flexible that we can expand and bend it according to our will in face of mismatch between observable reality and math.<p>So there is no surprise that we keep seeing math around us. We created it as a result of interaction with the world.<p>But to insist that math is the real way the world works is ridiculous. It&#x27;s like saying that there&#x27;s nothing beyond the visible spectrum of light because we can&#x27;t see it.<p>I&#x27;m quite sure that any creatures with significantly different bodies than ours would come up with different &quot;math&quot; and different view of the universe.<p>EDIT: I was trying to imagine such creatures but gaps in my knowledge and limitations of my homo sapiens mind are hard to escape and imagine something unimaginable. But I&#x27;ll give it a try: Think of a creature built of 100 autonomously moving clouds of particles, sharing one consciousness. The clouds can change their sizes in the ping-pong - planet range and communicate by radio waves.  I think that just the ability to watch specific event from 100 perspectives would give this alien completely different psychology and approach to the logic, truth etc.
